I mean yeah.... The .cfg file is a database or binary file or wahtever the
heck they are called.

If I view it with a text editor I can see the editors I have configured.

Done.

It uses something else.  The default setup is looked for $TMP$ in the main
sempoint directory.  This file is never created.   I've watched the
filesection step by step.  No files are created in any of the temp or sempoint
directory structure.

Lots of memory.

Thanks for helping though August, I appreciate it.
