<hrrrmph>Unix users</hrrrmph>. Give them an rm and they'll specify -f every time and then ask for files to be hidden to protect themselves. Hidden files! If I write a file I want it to be nice and obvious, visible and editable, movable and copyable. None of this "baby can't look in the system directory because he might get confused" stuff that is more suitable for an etch-a-sketch rather than a real computer. > * Suggestion: > I'm modified SciTEIO.cxx near line 96 and moved into precedent "per > platform" definitions doing only on linux to be ".abbrev.properties" and > for the rest of platforms remains as "abbrev.properties".

There are two uses of GetAbbrevPropertiesFileName, one to read the abbreviations and the other to open the file. It should not fail for the second case if there is no file yet so should not return false, instead choosing the most preferred name. This will add one or two extra open calls. We could rename the file at initialisation for a couple of releases. This should not show any UI as that may break start-up scripts.
