Roger, you probably are correct. I was operating from what I read at JSI:
http://www.jsifaq.com/SUBL/tip5800/rh5826.htm

However, on further searching (via Google) I did find this very informative
link suggesting that the Prefetch directory be left alone:

Once again, it pays to ask the question first!
Thanks,
