Thanks for the info I've enhanced the NoModeList info with it in case I
look in there again (down the track).

It appears you could use ModeList to store a custom mode inside of a
UserPrefs.Modes.<mode>.Modefile so it would get used instead of the
standard Modefile of the same name in !StrongED.Defaults.Modes.<mode>

use  UserPrefs.Modes.C.customC
 if  UserPrefs.Global.Modelist is present
and has the lines

 ModeFile
 BaseMode        BaseMode
 C               C.customC
