It worked!!!!!!!
(Yes, I did backup the file before editing)
The edit was to move the room Kitchen to under the room Breakfast Room.
Notepad did the edit, saved the file over the original and "PRESTO!!! when AHP was opened, Kitchen was under Breakfast Room, and the timers for Kitchen came along with it, just as they were when Kitchen was at the bottom of the Room List. AHP never tumbled to the fact the file was ediited in notepad.
Thanks for that tip!!!!
And, as TTA advised, Back your file up BEFORE you attempt to edit.
