Which preference do you notice it not using?

    I have Racket 5.3.6 installed and have been using it to learn
    Racket. Yesterday I installed 5.93 as well, but my preference
    settings from 5.3.6 didn’t show up in 5.93.

    I did some digging in the documentation and found:

    
http://docs.racket-lang.org/drracket/drracket-files.html#%28part._.Preference_.Files%29

    "3.4.3 Preference Files

    On Mac OS X, preferences are stored in
    "org.racket-lang.prefs.rktd" in the user’s preferences folder.”

    I’m new enough to the Mac that I don’t know what “user’s
    preferences folder” refers to, but was able to use ‘find’ in the
    shell to locate:

    /Users/doug/Library/Preferences/org.racket-lang.prefs.rktd

    and my preferences from 5.3.6 are there.

    The documentation referenced above also has a note saying:

    “The expression (find-system-path 'pref-file) returns the
    platform- and user-specific preference file path.”

    But I get the error:

    Welcome to DrRacket, version 5.93 [3m].
    Language: Beginning Student [custom]; memory limit: 128 MB.
    Teachpacks: (lib "guess.rkt" "teachpack" "htdp") and (lib
    "draw.rkt" "teachpack" "htdp").
    > (find-system-path 'pref-file)
    find-system-path: this function is not defined
    >

    How do I get 5.93 to use my 5.3.6 preferences?
