From what I have seen posted, the consensus seems to be that we ought to
use the preferences folder idea. Here's what I plan to do:

When using HFS, look for a folder named "Preferences" in BootDrive (which
I assume is still the working directory reference number for the current
System's directory). Open or create it. Keep your preference file in there
under the name of the application + Prefs (i.e., "Clarus Prefs"). If there
is already a file with that name and not your creator type, throw a fit.

I plan to keep the name of the Preferences folder in an 'STR ' resource
in the app. so furriners can change it to whatever is appropriate.

Is this the way to go, or the road to trouble?
