By experiment, I have found that it seems to be the order in which
I install the files in the AUOT folder.  I am not sure what happens
if you delete a file and then add another.  (smile).  

When I want to be certain, I delete the AUTO folder, and then copy the
files I want, in the order I want, one at a time.  I use GULAM features
to help me with this.  My "install.g" command uses these Gulam features:
cp, echo, exit, foreach, if, mkdir, popd, pushd, rm, rmdir, set.
Anyone who wants a copy of this command may write, and ask for
"install.g" .
