It's the file that "Switch-a-roo" uses to save your settings. I suppose it (the saving) should have been done in resources, but it's fine the way it is, except if (as I do) you wish to have an FKEY for 2/256 color and a separate one for 16/256 color modes. I had to modify the CODE of a copy of ROO to get this to work. While unethical, it needed to be done (and was for personal use only). I'll tell you guys how to do it: change the "roo file" in the CODE resources to "roo fil2" (make sure to observe the same size!!!) and all will work like a charm. I'm sure there will be a million responses to your question, Phil. I wish others would see that there has already been a reply posted before going and posting a duplicate. If one has been posted before this one, it was only because I have been hammering this out in emacs for a while. Glad to be of service.

It is a preferences file for the "Switch-a-Roo" FKEY. It stores which two
video modes to switch between. You can change the preferences by holding the
control key while invoking Switch-a-Roo.
