If you really need to transfer your configuration from one computer to another, YAAC does allow you to export the Preferences configuration data as an XML file, and partially read it back in. The reason for partial readback is that I didn't want people to use this config export and import to create dozens of identical duplicate stations that would damage the network (i.e., which is the _real_ AB3DE-2 station?), so station-identification-specific information is deliberately discarded on import and has to be manually entered. Similarly, platform hardware specific information is discarded on import (for example, a Microsoft Windows system would not have any /dev/ttyUSB0 ports like a Linux system would have, and similarly for COM5 ports on a Linux system) and has to be re-entered.
Hope this helps.

Ah! Thank you, Andrew, for the good, clear answer that clears up the mystery for me.
I am in the process of trying several APRS related projects, mostly using my MacBook. I was moving and reinstalling programs, including YAAC. I couldn't figure out where it was storing and getting configuration info for which I couldn't find files. I'm not all that familiar with how Java does things, so I wasn't thinking in that direction.
Again, I appreciate your very courteous and helpful answers to my curiosity questions.
