Hi Wendy - sorry I missed the critical bit! And I don't know the answer, but
the method I would use is:
Go to the places where the settings are, and change something.
Save the change and exit Legacy.
Go to the .USR files (in the Legacy program folder) and see which ones
have the date time to match the change you just made.
Swap the files that match.
Cheers, Brett

Thanks for that, Brett. :-)
I neglected to say before that I had been looking at that list, and
couldn't identify the file(s) I wanted. I'm sure it/they are listed
there, but my brain isn't making the connections tonight.
Kind Regards,
Wendy
