There are two ways to save the configuration,. The first way is through the settings menu. Selecting Save will save the current configuration as the last name saved or loaded, default if none have been. Save As will bring up a file requester for you to select the file to save to. Save As Default will save the configuration as the default configuration that will be loaded on startup.
Loading a configuration is very similar. By selecting Load, the default configuration is loaded. Load As will bring up another file requester for you to select which confiuration file you want. NOTE: To set a different configuration file as default, use Load As and then select Save As Default.
The other way is on the Configuration Window. Here you can only Save, not Load.
Also on the Configuration Window, if you change something and press OK, the changes are entered in to memory, but not saved. Pressing Cancel will not enter the changes into memory. If the changes work, you can save them through either the window or the Settings menu. Keep in mind that when you quit mNews, the configuration file is saved to the last name selected.
All the files needed by mNews are located in ./home/config/settings/mNews.
