It's not a great idea to manipulate preference files directly. Their
location, filename, format, etc. are considered an implementation
detail that's subject to change without notice. Apple has already
made at least two changes, from old-style plists to XML-based plists,
and then from that to a binary file format.
The Apple-recommended way to deal with the user defaults database
from a shell prompt is to use the "defaults" tool, like this:
defaults delete com.apple.Terminal
Naturally, there are both Cocoa and Carbon APIs to do this
programatically also.
