;)  i guess my current method whereby i change the path to point to the desired 
FPC version is the only real way... i have a little script that i use, runfp, 
which sets up my environment... it requires the version of FPC i want to use to 
be specified on the command line...

eg:
   runfp 2.6.2
   runfp 2.6.4
   runfp trunk

but using "trunk" messes up things that use $FPVERSION as that requires that i 
have that version of FPC in a dedicated directory other than trunk... but hey, 
it works for now and i only have to make sure that my FP.CFG and similar files 
are correct for the version i'm currently playing with...
