[FIX] Re: Preferences class usage question

Hi, Anthony,

The entry in Parameters under key #Prevailing is a leftover from a 
transition in Preferences architecture a couple of years ago, which 
has hung around in the image unnoticed.  It, and the Parameters entry 
under #PersonalPreferences as well, can and should be removed.

The attached change-set does this.

As part of the broad cleanup of Squeak underway, it will good for the 
Parameters to undergo a careful scrutiny.

Cheers,

   -- Scott
