View Ref-FileExtra - Configuration... (Window 1)
Extra - Save Configuration                                            Thing

This saves all the configuration settings, including:

  - Icons on the desktop
  - Installed applications
  - Settings from the Configuration dialog pages
  - If applicable, positions and paths of opened directory windows 
    (also ⇨ Extra - Configuration... (Window 1)).
 
Before saving one can choose a new path, which can, if desired, then 
remain valid as the saving path until Thing is quit.

If the resolution-independent configuration information was loaded from a 
'fallback' file, a choice will be offered during saving to store them back 
to this file. In this way one can, for instance, store the settings in 
640x480x2 and continue using them later in higher 2-colour resolutions 
without having to create additional files which would have to be looked 
after separately.


      When saving a 'fallback' file one should not, of course, have 
      chosen a desktop picture that does not fit the colour-depth of the 
      'fallback' file. In addition, no icons may be positioned outside 
      the area of the desktop of the 'fallback' file because these would 
      no longer be visible in lower resolutions.
