You must be poking around in your preferences folder. These usually
preferences settings such as com.apple.recentitems.plist. Some are in
XML while others are in a binary format which is not "human readable".
In either case you can use the Property List Editor included with XCode
which gives you a nice hierarchical list of all the settings inside a
plist file. I think the editor is the default app to open a plist file,
at at least it is for me. From the terminal you can also play with the
"defaults" command which lets you read/write attributes in a plist. Just
do a "man defaults" for details. For example, "defaults read
com.apple.recentitems" would output to your termial all the settings
store in the com.apple.recentitems.plist.

Dear listers,
When examining commands for the mac command line, I keep coming across
com.apple. I think it is some kind of object that has properties. What does
this thing do? Where do I find documentation about this? Man doesn't have an
explanation as far as I can see. Can anyone help me get started a little bit?
Do I set object properties in front or after com.apple?
Paul.
