Adding new things to the REGISTRY  {OBSOLETE -- USE THE REGISTRY ITSELF NOW }  

• IF you have an additional set of (needs and preference) settings for a new device, please add a set of columns to the Excel sheet and enter the settings.
• When entering the data for a new device see if there is already a term defined that matches any of your settings. If there is, then use that row to describe your settings . if your settings are different create a new row.
• You may also have settings that are specific just to your application and could not appear on any other application(e.g. the location of a special toolbar on the screen at startup). For these you should create your own page and put those settings on that page which is just used for your product.
