Is there any program out there which will take all the Preference settings in 2.0 (fonts, screen type, overscan, etc) and save it as an icon? I want to be able to switch between Productivity Interlace and other modes without haveing to change the fonts manually. Any info is appreciated.

Douglas, I don't know of a program that will save all of your preferences for you, but there is a way to save the individual pref's sets from each preferences editor. Use the menu command "Save As…". The file saved will have an icon that can simply be double-clicked to reload that set of settings. You can also reload the settings from the cli by using that file name as a command line argument to the preferences editor. For example, I could save a set of overscan values from the overscan editor under the filename of "sys:prefs/presets/my_std_scan". I can then set them active via the cli "overscan sys:prefs/presets/my_std_scan" command. (in this case, they would not take immediate effect, as I have a non-WB window open, but they will take effect if I close down all windows and reset WB).

Thanks, Bob. I'll give it a try.
