Hi list...

Here's a weird one.  The lingo below generates a preferences file if it
doesn't previously exist.  The default prefs file (a prop list) is
theHeaderString.  All well and good until it is read back in by FileIO
where property pT morphs from pT in the first list to pt in the second
list.
[#pEnabled:"all", #pEmail:"", #pMgrEmail:"", #pLastAt:[#pC:"", #pM:"",
#pS:"", #pT:""], #pBeenTo:[:]]
[#pEnabled: "all", #pEmail: "", #pMgrEmail: "", #pLastAt: [#pC: "", #pM:
"", #pS: "", #pt: ""], #pBeenTo: [:]]

Why did property pT become pt?

Below is my lingo at that point.

Thanks,
Michael M.

theHeaderString = "[#pEnabled:" & QUOTE & "all" & QUOTE & ", #pEmail:" &
QUOTE & QUOTE & ", #pMgrEmail:" & QUOTE & QUOTE & ", #pLastAt:[#pC:" &
QUOTE & QUOTE & ", #pM:" & QUOTE & QUOTE & ", #pS:" & QUOTE & QUOTE & ",
#pT:" & QUOTE & QUOTE & "], #pBeenTo:[:]]"     
gFileIO.writeString(theHeaderString)
theError = gFileIO.status()
if theError <> 0 then
    alert("X")
else   
    gFileIO.openFile(pSavedFiles.pProgressPath, 0)
    gFileIO.setPosition(0)
    pProgress = value(gFileIO.readFile()) -- morphs to pt from pT
end if
