  I seem to be a bit dense Mike, I do appreciate the help, but I think I
ought to clarify something, I run a front end on the same system as the
back end, and it did not ask about updating the schema, but my laptop,
which is running the same version from the same repo is asking.  Is it
safe to let it update the schema?  (I'm still remembering the last time
I let a front end update stuff.)
