Your last answer provides food for thought - after the brain-ache subsides!

I now have an Obey file which, when run, renames th two modefies
correctly. Running it from Blinds keeps the same StrongED window live, as
expected.

The last line of the ObeyFile is indeed 
Message StrongED_ExecCmds RescanModes()

But it does not work! More weirdly, after running it, doing Rescan dir ->
Modefile does nothinbg. To get the new modefile recognised I have to quite
and re-run StrongED! 

This with 4.70a12
