There can be two copies of ssystem.ini

Unixish systems it will be whatever_install_dir/share/stellarium/data/ssystem.ini

Windoze it will be %programfiles%\Stellarium\data\ssys tem.ini (or whatever the x86 version of that is called on 64 bit systems)

The other may not exist but if it does is in your local settings.

Unixish systems it will be ~/.stellarium/ssystem.ini (or maybe ~/.stellarium/data/ssystem.ini since it will not run on my copy of Linux due to bad OpenGL drivers)

Windoze it will be %appdata%\Stellarium\data\ssystem.i ni

If the local file does not exist, copy the one from the program's install directory to the local settings (you might need to create the "data" directory). You can then edit to your hearts content.

This discussion applies equally to config.ini except that will have been created in your local settings as soon as you did a "Save Configuration".

Thanks for that. Done and done. It works!

cheers
