Hi Jeff,
That did the trick :-)
I had seen the defines for the various bases so when the function asked for
a base I just plugged BASE_DEC in. The old documentation did misslead me but
I could kick myself for not plugging in the obvious 10 !
Thanks for clearing that up.

No, there should never be any need to edit the preferences file by hand.

The 'base' field in 'prefs_register_uint_preference()' is the base used
by 'strtoul()' when converting the string "123" into an unsigned
integer. Don't use BASE_DEC (whose value is 1) here but rather 0 or 10
if you want to input a decimal number.
I just checked in a change to README.developer to explain what this
parameter should be.
