Hmmmm... For some reason,
*Alias !SaveSetting !Execute [!SetEvar %1 %2][!xTextSaveEvar
@$SettingsFile$@ @%1@ @%2@]
Doesn't like spaces in the name path. In this case, the path is:
"C:\LiteStep\profiles\BigDaddy\themes\Recurve2\Colors\Austerity.rc"
(just a color scheme by the same name as the theme) If the color scheme
was Crimson Rose.rc, it would only go as far as the Crimson. Now I don't
know if it would be a problem if instead of "BigDaddy" it was  Paul
Hale,  but the fact remains that even if I were to strip the path and
extension, the filename will still be wrong.

Any workaround?
