Edit Effects Tab

I'm having some difficulty getting my Effects to work properly--the duration Effects are loading "instant" no matter how I save them, and I have clutter (multiple or outdated copies) in my Effects.

1. I'd like to get Effects I have saved, e.g. "Bull's Str (3)" to save with the right duration (3 min. in this case).
2. Delete unwanted Effects from the library.

I'm using a Mac, D20Pro v. 3.0.0 according to the "About" section in the game options menu. I have a DM only creature called "Caster" that has at will Abilities for every spell my PCs use, with an associated effect.

1. If I go to the "Edit Effects" and select an unwanted effect, it becomes salmon colored, and I get the mouse-over message: "Select Effect and click Load. Press delete key to destroy selected effect." Pressing the "Delete" key does nothing.

2. No matter what I do, while the ability/effect for "Caster" retains the right duration, if I use the "X" key as a judge to load an effect, or the "S" key to have the PC cast their memorized spell, duration reverts back to "instant." I would really like to not have to re-input duration everytime someone casts a duration based spell.

Also, is there a text or data file that stores the effects that I can access and edit?

Thanks

 

Just answered one of my questions: you must click "FN + Delete" to delete an effect. Still can't get durations to stick.

 

Thank you both for responding!

Curtis, a small point and a question:
1. That file is in a different location for me: D20Pro\Resources\Java\user\effectsd20Pro.GM.dat

I presume though that's the file you're referring to.

2. Do you know what program I would use to open/edit this file?
