Fortunately, there weren't many of them. !! This definitely shouldn't have happened. I've checked this code several times and done upgrades where I verified that the changes *did* get preserved, yet your the second person who's reported this happening to them. I wonder if you guys are typing any weird paths at the `where to save?' prompt, or have interesting filesystem layouts that cause the default location to fail. Grumble. I'd like to be able to reproduce it, I really would! Jordan
