Hi Rob - Years ago I had an issue with params, I would open AB and find many 
of the params kept reverting back to the defaults. That can happen if AB 
doesn't save them properly - if it can't find them on startup then it will 
use the defaults. I started tracking the size and contents of broker.params 
whenever I would close AB and found the size would change drastically and 
half the params weren't being saved to the file. Turns out that I was using 
different keyboard characters in my param names, and somehow these 
characters were causing AB to abort the save process when it would come 
across them. I renamed all my params using only letters and numbers and 
never had any more problems after that.

Steve
