No at first I changed both CM.ini and the defualt one, but I was playing with a
user I created, and when I did change the user ini file, it was still at the one
meg size, and even though the default one is lager than 1 meg in my file now,
any new user I create are still 1 meg, you have to change the ini in the user
directory every time you create a new user if you want to play with lager hash
tables.
