Author Migrating HOD User Preferences

We are using HOD 8.02, with cached clients. We have two situations where
we need to migrate user pref settings (screen color, keyboard mapping, etc).

THe first case involves the user getting a new PC. What
files/directories do we grab off the old PC to make sure that their 3270
sessions look/feel the same on their new PC. (Recreating will be a very
time-consuming effort.)

The second case is where some users were using a different .html source
(a test bed) and are now being asked to use the "production" version.
Same problem; how to migrate user pref settings from one to the other.

I tried both the Redbook and the InfoCenter without any success. Hope
someone here can assist.

Thanks,

What I tried when I saw this posting was the following-

1) exported the hod session you wish to migrate
2) find the corresponding cf*.df file that corresponds to the html file
you load. Usually in the hoddata folder in documents and settings
3) take the exported session and copy over in place of the df file
5) start your session
