Herein lies the culprit. This very medium, this forum which we use to communicate; and me. Yes, me. I was content to leave well enough alone, using what worked for me, Python 2.6 and Stellarium 0.9.1. Why "upgrade" to something new? In other words, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
Old timer me, decided that if my system worked, it should work for IGD's rig as well....lol, not to be.
Once it was determined that IGD and I were using 2 different Stellarium pgms, I got off my duff and DL the newest version. [I] Reworked the SH4toStellarium10.ssc script for my cpu's subdirectory. And yet, all was not well, as the date/time and geo coords continued to stay in Paris with today's date/time. Default? Probably. So, I carefully read the script and discovered that it was supposed to write an sh4.ssc with the game date/time/posit into the SCRIPT directory of the new Stellarium.
My sys os is W/7 and for some reason, due to permissions authority, it was not allowing the Python script to write to Stellarium. It wouldn't let me edit any of the *.ssc files unless I physically drug them from the "My Computer" focus box to the desktop and modified them there.
Since this was preventing the "sh4.ssc" script from being written, I decided to create a blank "sh4.ssc" with Notepad, drag it into the Stellarium\Script directory, to kick-start the deal--Lo and behold, it worked. Opening the Stellarium\Script\sh4.ssc disclosed the proper params for my game.
I see now, this was just a ploy by 6ST7GT to drag me kicking and screaming into the 21st century. That was a dirty trick, Mike.
And that, Pisces, is how I lost all my remaining hair. (I think I'll start shaving my legs--for balance.)
