    Change "expert" to "UM_expert".

    No, do not include the quotes.

    At the top of slight.src, add the line (if it's not already there):
    !include sbbsdefs.inc

    If that line is already there, then perhaps you have an old sbbsdefs.inc file.

    Put the path in quotes, that is, change the line to read:
