Thanks for reminding me and others on how to convert the scrambled plist using
the Terminal tool. See my last post on what to change.

use:

plutil -convert xml1 <path to plist> to change it to text editible format and
plutil -convert binary1 <path to plist> to change it back.

However, as already noted, Property List Editor is your best choice.
