skof,

To you copy your Step List Configurations to another PC you can find them stored in the layout_current.bin file found in C:\Documents and Settings\<windows username>\Local Settings\Application Data\National Instruments\TestStand X.X directory.  If you copy this file to the same location on another PC, or even on the same PC to a different user account, your Step List Configurations should carry over.


Since this file is stored in a directory that is different for each major version of TestStand, you shoulnd't have to worry about overwriting it if you install a new major version (4.2 over 4.1). I haven't tested for minor revisions that would share a folder (4.0 & 4.0.1) but that would be the only situation in which you might need to be concerned.
