<para>First, open the configuration dialog by opening the
<quote>Edit</quote> drop-down menu. Choose <quote>Preferences</quote>
and then click on the <quote>Advanced</quote> icon on the top menu
bar. Choose the <quote>General</quote> tab and click on the
<quote>Config Editor</quote> button. This will display a list of the
configuration preferences and information related to each one. You can
use the <quote>Filter:</quote> bar to enter search criteria and narrow
down the listed items. Changing a preference can be done using two
methods. One, if the preference has a boolean value (True/False), simply
double-click on the preference to toggle the value and two, for other
preferences simply right-click on the desired line, choose
<quote>Modify</quote> from the menu and change the value. Creating new
preference items is accomplished in the same way, except choose
<quote>New</quote> from the menu and provide the desired data into the
fields when prompted.</para>
