If you close the profile window, you can't reopen the window except by quiting and relaunching Unison? Hit "restart" button to get back to list of profiles. Apparently no way to edit the profiles after creation.

+==Set Up for Shared Hosting on DreamHost (Ubuntu)==
+
+DreamHost's shared hosts don't have Unison, but it is straight-forward to build it.
+
+First step is to build OCaml and install it into a scratch directory (~/ocaml):
+
+ mkdir ~/ocaml
+ curl -OL http://caml.inria.fr/pub/distrib/ocaml-4.02/ocaml-4.02.3.tar.gz
+ tar xzf ocaml-4.02.3.tar.gz
+ cd ocaml-4.02.3
+ ./configure --prefix ~/ocaml
+ make world.opt
+ make install
+
+Next, add OCaml to the path, and build Unison:
+
+ PATH=~/ocaml/bin:$PATH
+ curl -OL http://www.seas.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/download/releases/stable/unison-2.48.3.tar.gz
+ tar tzf unison-2.48.3.tar.gz
+ cd unison-2.48.3
+ make
