Yes, I get that same message. When you click on "Save to X Configuration
File", another box should come up and there is a button that says "show
preview". If you click on that it should show what the new configuration
file should look like. If you copy and paste it into a text file which is
step 2, 3, and 4 then go to step 5 and 6.
Are you not seeing what I am seeing?
