Summary	0000242: Implement global preferences
Description	In addition to the ~/.ascend.ini preferences file, there should perhaps be another file that contains site-specific settings such as the location of the model library, the location of external libraries, etc. On Windows, the Registry could possibly be used for this; or else another .ini file perhaps in the same directory as the executable could be used. When uninstalling, the global preferences file would be overwritten but the per-user configuration files would be untouched.
Tags	No tags attached.
