   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.

   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.
