OK... I just checked the config on my eeePC running UBUNTU and I could not see
the effect you are describing...
The config file is ~/.pskmail/configuration.xml on UBUNTU.
When I change the beacon minute on the GUI it is stored in the xml file
When I change the beacon minute in the prefs dialog it also gets changed in the
GUI and stored in the xml file
When I change the status text in the APRS tab it is immediately stored in the
xml file
When I change the posit data in the prefs dialog they get changed in the APRS
tab
When I send a beacon this data is used correctly.
When I restart the app the data stored in the xml file is used...
Are you using windows perhaps? I did not check that yet... also did not check
on puppy...
By the way, on window$ the config file is your user/pskmail/configuration.xml
You can easily check the file after changing the data (with wordpad, gedit, vi,
etc...).
