    Hmmm. I exported that portion of the registry from the old user and imported
    it into the new user's HKCU registry segment; the font changed but the colors
    seem to have stayed as they were. I've gone in and changed the color scheme
    by hand... I don't like it as well as the way it used to be but I can't
    remember what the other colors were. I am going to stop trying to get back to
    exactly where I was: it's fairly useable now and I can tweak it as I run into
    things I don't like.

    Thanks for your help!!!
