Thanks Vince, that did the trick.

Also thanks to Andrew who told me to look in ~/Library/Preferences for
the .plist file, which reminded me to create the identifier string in
Project Builder so my defaults file would be named properly. When I
double click the .plist files, the Mac opens them automatically with
the Plist Editor, or you can inspect the XML with Text Edit.

Nice to have some help at the wee hours of the night (for me).

Cheers, Eric
