WOW…That is thorough.  Thank you.  I don’t need a script “per se”, I just assumed that scripting would be the only way I could access the preferences objects/attributes.  If I can create an action to do the cloud/device toggling, I am fine with that.   I do want to play with the action to UXP script converter.  That gives me a couple of ideas….

Thank you for taking time to share all that.
