That works, but I must be missing something because with 4.6.0 and start qde directly from there I do get 4.6.0 and not 
4.0.1. Oh well, I now created three scripts, qde400 qde450 and qde460.  Everything's peachy.

Thanks Elena!

In order to have multiple instances of the IDE, each configured using a different version of the toolset ( 6.3.2, 6.4.0)
, i have been using shorcuts with qconfig -e  ... -r ...  However this create a text window into which qconfig runs.  
Not a real issue but is there a way of getting rid of this.


Would be nice if the installer could create menu-item for the various tool set already present on the machine.
