Well the forum administrator has prevailed on me to relay the answers.
1) Obviously I did not give myself full administrator functions in Lookout when I set myself up, level 10 doesn't cut it any more. The name being the same as the windows terminology led me to look to the windows administrator function. I wonder what the ghosts at Georgetown would say now, it doesn't come on a single floppy diskette any more guys.
2) The default user save period is called "state", I knew that. Alls you do is search on "state" and not "save" or "variable" or anything else, and when you do figure out the magic word is "state", you find it has migrated from "Options\System" to "File\Modify Service".
Oh that's much more logical...
It's so easy when you know how.
I will now put on my dunces cap and stand in a corner.
