Makes sense.  However, when I ran the "pear install -a -B  
horde/webmail" and then "webmail-install" I was not prompted for the  
location to install horde.  I did see all the upgrade packages get  
downloaded and saved to /tmp/pear/download where there now exists 60  
some .tgz files.

And as you suggest, my original location was uneffected and contains  
all the files that were installed there during the original install of  
5.0.4 a few months back.

Being a pear novice, I am at a loss as to reverse what I did.  Or can  
I?  Should I just run an "uninstall" and start over?  Or is there a  
way for me to tell pear that I  have version 5.0.4 instead of 5.1.1 so  
I can run the update command?

Thanks,

Pat
