I don't think this needs to hold up .10 as it has been the problem for a while now. I'll look into it. > >> In the conf, there are other rtf codes such as \b and \i.

I agree with that posting that the header of the osis document would make for a fine replacement. A simple version number on the conf (e.g. ConfVersion=1.1) could be used to distinguished between the current confs and the new one.
