Take a look at the "PreferencesFolder" function. On Linux, prepend a

Prepend a "." to the name of the preference file?

Yes, on Linux. For example, .bash_rc, .ssh, .java, .Xauthority, etc. If you're at a Linux box, just launch a terminal, type "cd ~", then "ls -a", and note that all of your preferences for that user are there.

HTH,
