Hi Ian,

Hmm, not much there.  My patch does not copy the files over, although I 
thought of that and it would not be hard to add.

As for the Windows problem, I did not change how it is done in Windows 
and the settings are still saved in the registry there.  If desired it 
would be trivial to change the function I added to make it save files in 
Windows as well in an appropriate place.

I also did not mess with the fp-lib-table and it is still in the home 
directory.  I figured that one might be better there where it is easily 
opened and edited manually.
