In truth, I haven't spent much time on this since I left 9.1. There everything was working well, but I never tried another region disk. On this box, with 10.0, I may well have not set up plf packages as I did on the other. I was commenting because I had understood that it should do, and wanted to know if others had found that to be so. Maybe I'll find time to look at this again. Thanks for the comments.
