<h1>eric4.Preferences</h1>
<p>
Package implementing the preferences interface.
</p><p>
The preferences interface consists of a class, which defines the default
values for all configuration items and stores the actual values. These
values are read and written to the eric4 preferences file by module
functions. On Windows the data is located in the registry, everywhere 
else it is stored in a file in a subdirectory of the users home directory.
The individual configuration data is accessed by accessor functions defined
on the module level. The module is simply imported wherever it is needed
with the statement 'import Preferences'. Do not use 'from Preferences import *'
to import it.
