    Unfortunately, this is necessary for two reasons. First, if
    the files don't exist on the user's system, they will need
    to be created. Second, old config files are sometimes not
    compatible with new versions of Turbo Pad, since options may
    have been added, removed or changed. Basically, if old
    config files were used with a newer version, they might
    cause errors and bugs.

    Would it be helpful if I wrote a script to copy the old
    settings to the new config files so you don't have to do it
    by hand?

    That's a solution...
