- This is a ClassAct property, indeed many things are going on when calling
- the prefs window, that is why it may seem slow to some people.

- Better yet: you only have to copy the icon and add two different tooltypes
- in both: CONFIG=aweb.prefs for the first and CONFIG=your_alternate.prefs for
- the other.
-
- You can also start AWeb with a different preferences file from the shell:
- AWeb CONFIG your.prefs.
-
- When altering the prefs and saving it will update the one you started with.
-
- It's all in the manual :)
