That misses the issue again.

When I create a new NNML group, I type:

        G M
        random.group <RET>
        nnml <RET>

When I created this NNFOLDER group, I typed:

        G M
        random.group <RET>
        nnfolder <RET>

And nnfolder put it in the same directory space as the nnml groups,
and they both started duking it out.

It *doesn't* work out of the box.  Or if that's not the way I should
have used it, it *wasn't* red flagged as "you can't use THIS until
you set THAT and THAT OTHER THING".

I'm not an idiot.  But I broke things by trying to follow directions.
If you say the directions are in there, please point to them.
