Subj: 	changing the name of a sandbox

I would like to change the name of an existing sandbox,
say from "sandbox" to "sb".  Is this doable?  Does it
require more than mvdir and editing ~/.sandboxrc?

Yes you need to do more than mvdir and edit .sandboxrc.

1.  You need to edit the rc_files/shared file on the line where it
says "sandbox_base".

2.  There is the rc_files/sets file which has the sandbox location
embedded in the name of the default set.

3.  Finally, the src/.BCS-.... files, if you have them, will have the
default set name as part of their name.  You don't want these to get
lost either.

4.  The .BCSlock file contains the name of the sandbox directory, too,
so you might as well fix it while you're at it.  I just don't know of
any place where the directory name here gets used.
