Ron,
I am pretty sure the entry point is defined in SYSENV or SYSAPPS … you should be able to upgrade or edit just one record in the runtime system.
If that isn't possible, back up their OENGINE.EXE and place your development OENGINE.EXE there, log into the app (e.g. using DV=1 switch) and set up the entry point in application properties, then put back the runtime engine.
In general, it is a good idea to have a way for the user of the app to apply an upgrade (which may be only one item, as in this case) by placing a call to RDKInstall somewhere off a menu or dialog. I believe this is covered in the RDK manual. If you do this, the user can take what you ship and incorporate it easily.
