Well, that's fair enough, but the way that I've been using Hugs, I
wanted to vary certain options from the defaults *all the time*, and
having multiple copies of the Preferences file is awkward. Aliases
don't seem to work, and they don't solve the whole problem anyway.
The suggestion that I would make is for Hugs to
- first look in {Current};
- then look in {Hugs};
- then use the defaults.
Does this sound reasonable? Does it sound difficult?
