Delete the settings in the Envarc:Sys/ drawer. The prefs editors in 3.1
will load older config files, but they can't be edited properly.
The only settings that you should have to delete are:
Envarc:Sys/palette.prefs
Envarc:Sys/pointer.prefs
Don't confuse these settings with any "custom" settings that might be
saved in your Envarc: directory.
If these files are missing when you invoke the 3.1 palette and pointer
editors, you won't have any more trouble.
