Huh? It would be Leo's startup code that creates myLeoSettings.leo if it doesn't exist. Couldn't it be created just when a user clicks on the Help menu, then he clicks on Open my leo settings? This way, we could also generate a dialogue and ask the user if he wants it on the default leo

Hi Edward just a very brief comment, as I have only had chance to glance over this page. I think having something like this is a *major* advance for casual potential users of Leo, and I have high hopes that you will reap the rewards (in terms of numbers of users) of this sort of work. Great
