Summary: Provide default settings for preferences

Initial Comment:
Currently the systems default preference settings are coded in the 
application  itself. This means that when the user first starts the 
application no preference files exist. The user therefore has to know 
what preferences they can set.

It would be better if, when the application starts these preferences 
are looked for, and if necessary created. Thus when the user selects 
the edit preferences menu item they will not be presented with a 
blank sheet.

If we make one of the preferences a version number then we only 
need to check the version number. If it is equal to or higher than the 
version we are execuring then we do not need to set the 
preferences. If it is lower, we can call a routine to add any additional 
preferences since that version.
