OK, found it.
I had to close Lazarus and then hand edit the lfm and pas files
because Lazarus would not let me fix it within...

Cannot check if it will work the same yet because of the conditional
errors checking the Delphi version.
But it seems like it does not have a property for the directory name,
maybe I can use the FileName property instead?
