I am not using any scripts.
In PackageMaker in the Distribution Panel I specify User Home Directory
In the Contents Section,Package Panel, Configuration Tab I specify Destination as /MYDIR/DIR/
The Contents is a Folder of Files.
My expectation is that I would end up with:
/userhome/mydir/dir1/folder of files/
