I just ran some tests to confirm that all was well for running the
.detachrc from andrew to clear out the font path.
I was told that 'remove' was the way to undo 'add'.
It's not.
I get the error message:
Remove only works from the same shell in which you typed setup.

We have a problem.
Course lockers that change the font path must clean up after themselves
on detach.
The advertised solution of using remove does not work.
The ez group has gone to great lengths to advertise remove as being the
thing to do.
Boy do I feel stupid for not having tested it sooner.
I propose that remove be changed so that if called after an add it will
remove the locker from the search path (if this is possible), will run
the .detachrc, and that it not complain that I didn't use setup.
