John, I am interested in pursuing this, but when I look in Terminal 
at my existing pref file, there's something that concerns me (because 
I'm ignorant of it). The array tag (second line under "<dict>" in 
your listing, is different for mine. Instead of saying "<array/" as 
yours does, mine says "</array". And at the end of the array, ours 
says "<array/>"  while yours says, "</array>".

Is this important? Are there really two ways of beginning and ending 
tags? Please advise!
