%TWITPREF Save twitter access tokens
%   Opens a GUI for entering twitter access tokens. Note that the access
%   tokens are not masked when entering them. It stores the tokens in the
%   preferences. This is queried by the twit function when that function is
%   not supplied with the access tokens.
%
%   This function stores all the access information in plain text and is
%   not secure. Use this at your own risk.
