You probably have to change the definition of the {MPW} variable in
the Startup file.  As shipped, it is "{Boot}MPW:"; sounds like you want
"{Boot}Programming Languages:MPW:"

Me, I have things set up so that things I've changed are in a different
place, "{Boot}Local:", and the MPW subdirectories are absolutely as
shipped, except for the Startup file which contains one line:
	Execute "{Boot}Local:Startup"
Makes it much easier to install updates.  Note that things like
CIncludes, RIncludes, etc., are search paths - you can define them
as "{Local}CIncludes:,{MPW}CIncludes:" for example, and your changed
files will be searched first, MPW's original files if you haven't
changed that one.
