Addendum: I keep suspecting that there's a hidden folder or file
somewhere that is telling Java where the app is and is preventing me
from launching ADTPro anywhere other then where I first launched it
(the downloads folder). But there's no .ADTPro folder or file in my
home directory and I can't find any clue in the .java folder. It runs
fine where it is (~/home/[user]/Downloads/) but this isn't where I
want it.

[edit: And just to make sure, I'm not moving just the adtpro.sh file
itself, I'm moving the entire folder as I do realize that the
supporting subdirectories are needed.]
