Not true. What happens is that the current session's preference items
get saved each time you exit FrameMaker so that they will be used as
the defaults the next time you start FrameMaker.

The personal maker.ini can specify a personal override value for *any*
parameter that is controlled by the ini file. By default, it included things 
like default directories, user dictionaires, user preference items like 
automatic save, and default locations of dialog boxes--all the kinds 
of things that any user is likely to set for their own personal preference.
 
The whole point is to allow different users of a shared computer to 
set up their defaults the way they like them without interfering with
other users. When you start FramemMaker, the main maker.ini is read 
first, then the current user's maker.ini. This means that all settings in 
the main maker.ini are used except for the specific items that are
included in the personal maker.ini.
