Robot preferences help

Hi

We're trying to get the robot preferences to work. We followed the example on the screen steps page (http://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/...martdashboard), but are confused with a number of things. We're doing command based programming in Java.

1) should this go in the robot init like in the example? Doesn't that mean you need to reboot the Rio every time you change the file?
2) we can't seem to get anything to show up in the preferences. The things that I have found in the forums are a couple of years old so I'm not sure if it's changed.
3) if we create a key in the preferences table that doesn't exist in the code does that have any impact?
4) we trying declaring the variables as public in our robot.java but while in other commands or subsystems it doesn't seem like we could use them. Is there something I'm missing there?

Thanks for any help!
Andrew
