Am am building several profiles with additional columns in the GUI.  I can
either add columns to the preferences file in the local or global profile
directories or I can add them via the GUI and they are displayed in the GUI. 
When added via the GUI or if I add them directly in the column.format section
of the preferences file then open the preferences editor dialog and click
either the OK or apply button what is written back to the preferences files is
only the first 27 columns.  Any columns after the 27th are lost and will not be
displayed when that profile is reloaded.
