It's not so straightforward as that since the old wizards mostly 
create keyword values. My new wizards are to help edit .cfg files
directly. There's fewer steps, but it is perhaps a bit more 
intimidating. Thanks for the offer. I'm nearly done tho. But you
can be the first tester of it, since the others will always prefer
the older method.

Ok, nice to have my core in three languages :)

Yes, it depends how your mind works. Some people want to be told what
to do, and they just want it to work as easily as possible. Others
want to know what they are doing and why with no 'filters' between them
and the heart of the issue. I like to think that the first type should
just use Windows, since I tend to think that anyone still using DOS
does so because they like a more 'hands on' OS and software. Still,
both methods are available with my core. I admit I'm a bit of a facist
in my views ;-)
