I first thought it was kind of funny (thinking back to the Star Trek days), but then I realized it was in the <client_state.xml> file for a reason. Would this relate to running under a 32 bit vs a 64 bit system in Windows 10? Is it only in my file?

Thank you Keith. Once again you're to my rescue from being a bit too curious. I sort of understood the answers, but that's okay. At least I know that "warp size 32" is a real thing, at least in the land of computers.
