Thanks, Sherry. You'd think that after all these years I would have remembered that those settings were written to a Legacy USR file. Of course now, in looking at the data in any of the USR files, it is merely a long list of values. I sure miss the old days when programs used .INI files. At least a user could make sense of those because they usually carried the name of the parameter followed by its value. Sigh.

The file will be recreated when you go back into Legacy. That should resolve the issue.
