Hi Jose,

Thanks for this tip - never knew about this thing. But it's heavily 
undocumented, I doubt he'll get it to work as even I have some problems 
understanding how it would work.

If you know how to handle it, shouldn't we develop some easy examples?

Just like

- initiating a new ini-file
- reading from the ini-file
- writing values into it
- replacing values

Regards

Rolf
