We should start with the Tabular dialog. People can always modify their preferences file by hand. Unfortunately, the Tabular dialog is different to every single other dialog in that changes made to it are registered immediately. Ie, there's no "Apply" or "Ok" button. The result is extremely complex code. Personally, I think it would be a good idea to start afresh, define a TabularParams struct and use the same machinary and approach as all the other dialogs. First though I'd have to win the flame war that this suggestion will probably precipitate and I get bored too easily when justifying the obvious to persevere. Angus
