I had WIDE2-2 set for Path 1 and it still set RELAY,WIDE as the path.

When are the different Path 1, Path 2, Path 3 used?
I filled in all of the paths with Path 1 = WIDE1-1, Path 2 = WIDE2-1, 
and Path 3 = WIDE2-2 but when I logged out it reset the path to 
RELAY,WIDE on the D700.

I will try to do a CVS update tonight and see what happens.
