\fBPrivoxy\fR will look for a file named
-\fIconfig\fR in the current directory (except on Win32 where

\fIdefault.action\fR. \fIuser.action\fR should
be used for locally defined exceptions to the default rules of
-\fIdefault.action\fR These are all well commented. On Unix
+\fIdefault.action\fR, and \fIuser.filter\fR for
+locally defined filters. These are well commented. On Unix
and Unix-like systems, these are located in
-\fI/etc/privoxy/\fR by default. On Windows, OS/2 and AmigaOS,
-these files are in the same directory as the \fBPrivoxy\fR
-executable.
+\fI/etc/privoxy/\fR by default.
.PP
-The name and number of configuration files has changed from previous
-versions. In fact, the configuration itself is changed and much more
-sophisticated. See the user-manual for a complete
-explanation of all configuration options and general usage, and notes for
-upgrading from \fBJunkbuster\fR and earlier \fBPrivoxy\fR
-versions.
+See the \fIUser Manual\fR for a detailed
