George,

Just use FB's "Get Preferences" and "Put Preferences" functions.

NOTE:  You'll have t o add the "Subs PrefsFile.incl" file to your 
project to access them.

In OS X, these functions save the apps preference file in the users 
"/Library/Preferences" folder like it should be.

Easy as cake...
