Thanks for that, and depending on your system there should not really  
be any slowness anywhere. (works speedily on my iMac G5.v1)

Yeah, the preference system is a HACK (yes, in capital letters ;-) ),  
so it's far from ideal, and I'm not sure how we should deal with it  
really. Your ideas are probably better than mine.

Allan, as usual, gave me some hints about using the OS preference  
system for this somehow, but as I am severely technically challenged,  
I left it for others to wrestle with ;-)


The key point I was kind of hoping to pass along in my commit message  
is this line below.

I have switched my humble dev requirements over to Rails more or less  
entirely, so I won't really use the PHPCC as much as I used to do  
before, so I won't be the right person to carry it from here onwards  
I'm afraid.

However, what PHPCC showed me - and hopefully others as well - is/was  
that code completion/information in your language does speed up your  
programming.

Having moved to Ruby/Rails I am constantly looking for completions  
and information about methods etc. That's why I will try to create a  
RoRCC bundle as soon as I can.  And if someone works out the  
preference stuff for PHPCC, then I will gladly incorporate that into  
RoRCC :-)


Kind regards,

Mats
