From Ian Schorr:

	Add a preference to control whether the "File > Open" dialog box
	should start out in the last directory in which it looked - and
	save that in the preferences file across invocations - or should
	always start out in a user-specified directory, and add another
	preference to specify that directory.

	Write out section name comments into the preferences file.

Clean up white space a bit.
