[sword-devel] WIN32 test

[Stephen Denne]

I tried responding to this at work last week, but the message doesn't seem to have turned up.

The problems I was getting was when I didn't have any options.conf file at all.

Creating an empty one solved the problems, except that the only way I could find to change the highlight text colour (from black)
was through editing the options.conf file.
