drracket-files.html should be more explicit about location of MacOS preferences #392

This is a very, very small request for clarification in one of the online documentation files.

Section 3.5.3 of the documentation file drracket-files.html says:

On Mac OS, preferences are stored in "org.racket-lang.prefs.rktd" in the user’s preferences folder.

I've been using MacOS daily for over ten years, and occasionally before that--mainly as a unix system, but also for Mac GUI apps--and I had no idea where my "preferences folder" was. A web search brought me to this page, which told me that the (standard?) location is: ~/Library/Preferences . (That page refers to MacOS 10.9, but I found the location to be correct on 10.15.)

Therefore the Racket preferences file is (usually?) ~/Library/Preferences/org.racket-lang.prefs.rktd. It would be better if the doc file said that.

Thanks-
