} A user says that OmniWeb.app (0.9.1) is not starting up any more  
} (crashed when invoked) since she tried to change her preference for a  
} different default home page...  I tried to find a ".omniweb" kind of  
} file, to delete it, but can't find where OmniWeb keeps its defaults  
} and preferences...  Seems to be .NeXT/.NeXTDefaults.L --but that is  
} not a file I know how to edit.
} 
} I believe that deleting any user-defined preferences could get this  
} user going again...  Can anyone tell me how to safely do this.

As well as the dread/drite methods mentioned by various people, there is a 
very neat app called Preferences available on the archive sites.  Its gives 
you a GUI for looking through all the preferences and modifying them... You 
can also save and reload preference sets - for example so you can preload a 
users preferences when you create an account.
