	@header SCPreferences
	The SCPreferencesXXX() APIs allow an application to load and
	store XML configuration data in a controlled manner and provide
	the necessary notifications to other applications that need to
	be aware of configuration changes.

	The stored XML configuration data is accessed using a prefsID. A
	NULL value indicates that the default system preferences are to
	be accessed.
	A string which starts with a leading "/" character specifies the
	path to the file containing te preferences to be accessed.
	A string which does not start with a leading "/" character
	specifies a file relative to the default system preferences
	directory.
