🚀 go-pugleaf

I've looked through the Next Developer files in Librarian and have read the
section on defaults, but I must be extremely dense because I still can't
figure this one out.

How can I flush the registration table of defaults to the .NeXTdefaults
database?  NXWriteDefaultsVector() takes what's in your vector and dumps it
to the database and puts the new values into the registration table.

I tried changing the vector information (a la strcpy) but that gave an
"invalid operands to binary +" error on compile so there's something going on
behind the scenes that I don't grok too well.

All the update & write calls seem to go from database to registration table.
I want to go the other way!  I've NXSetDefault'd just fine;
NXGetDefaultValue calls show the new value.

I don't want to call NXWriteDefault because I want to have a 'revert to
saved' button (i.e. I don't want to commit changes until the user says so).

It's gotta be simple.

Doesn't it?

Any help greatly appreciated.  [for the curious, I'm putting a Preferences
panel in Missile Command since the #define's were a bit unplayable for my
tastes... all that's not working - far as I can tell - is saving the damn
defaults!!!]
