you do not need to assign the return result to a variable, you can if you
like but on my end it's just not required at all. If anyone has a
reproducible case where getPref() and/or setPref() do require you to trap
the return value in a variable else you get unstable behavior or script
errors, then please contact me directly off-list so I can have a look at
those files.

We did in fact change the location for prefs file writing so as to avoid
user restrictions on NT-based and OSX systems. Previously we were writing to
a folder either next to the projector or in the Shockwave player's folder,
now that has changed so that we write to a user specific data folder instead
(true for all environments). I'm sorry but at this moment I don't have those
locations sorted out and they're not in the docs, I'm working with a QA
colleague and we've requested this information from the engineer that did
this work. Once we have that we will work with the support team to get a
tech note posted in addition to adding comments to LiveDocs online.
