Note that I didn't change any setting yet.
My settings files are in the path I have set in SciTE_HOME 
(D:\Dropbox\Applications\SciTE).
I checked the doc, it should still work as before, for global and user 
settings.

SciTE.properties and SciTEUser.properties are on the same folder (in the 
dropbox, as said earlier), the latter having only the line indicated 
below, to redirect to the real SciTEUser file, one folder below.
When I load the user properties files (using the dedicated menu), it 
loads the one with the import statement, so it should be OK.

But to be sure, I set the SciTE_USERHOME as well, pointing to 
D:\Dropbox\Applications\SciTE\PhiLho.

And… it worked!

And it is more logical, eliminating a file and a redirection. But 
needing an extra settings. Not a big problem.

But it seems there is a regression somewhere, with regard to what is 
written in the doc, no?

Anyway, thanks for the help.
