We ended up bringing all of the .apr files into a text editor (in our
case, Textpad).  Then we did an Search, Replace and replaced the "more
coverages" with the new folder name "more_cov".  We were able to use the
option "all documents" so that it replaced this in all of the open .apr
and we didn't have to go thru them one at a time.  This worked llike a
charm.  I recommend making a backup of your .apr files before doing
this, just in case something happens.

Thanks again!
