Well,  I Was able to get into the profile directory the ass backwards 
way,  My Folder in Library is Application Support,
And for the life of me,  I could not navigate into it,  But after all 
was said and done,  I followed your directions,
created the gm_scripts folder and Touch gm_scripts/config.xml  -  What 
does this funtion do?  Touch?
I still can't get  GM 0.6.3 to work,  I get the same error as before.   
I've been told that 0.6.4 is coming out today,
Will this solve the problem of creating this directory etc?  -  and what 
is Config.Xml?
