Saving Your Options Permanently
All settings made in the XML Options menu are written to the
text object XML-INI.
Whenever a new Natural fix or service pack is installed, all settings made in the XML Options menu are overwritten.
In order to keep your settings permanently, you are recommended to save the text object
XML-INI to the FUSER before you install a fix or service pack.
