Steve,

Try Page 462 in the Reference manual under PUT PREFERENCES statement. 
Has complete code example.

Sounds like you need to change the prefs file Creator code to BBEdit 
or whatever text reader you use for development. (Control click on 
prefs file and go to "Open with...")

An option would be to write your own prefs file reader using the GET 
PREFERENCES statement.

Hope this helps.

I'll be away from the list for several days for a corporate meeting 
in Florida. Hope things work for you.
