Armin has solved my problem. When I was uploading the new version of p.mapper my editor did not upload any dot files (including the ._startup_ folder! And when I was looking at the contents of the files I also had dot files being hidden so I could not see them. I was working on Mac OS X on my client and server and the default, as in Unix, is to hide those files and folders.
My stupid mistake. Thanks again Armin.
