I can see why Kurt don't understand tenzin's question.
Tenzin has changed entire web site, so now he's going to loose PR for those pages that has changed location. He's question in simple words: "my all pages, that moved to new location, will loose PR, why home page does not loose it?"

I think PR is calculated as SUM OF Total Links referring to your DOMAIN NAME, i.e. "www.yoursite.com" in first place. If referring link points to some specific url, then that page will get some PR points and add it to your web site PR.

I had a good link in my bookmarks, but thanks again to XP, I had to reinstall my PC and as always forget something to backup....shit happens....
