I was just taking a look at what I needed to do to create and use an "ini" file and stumbled across your response here to
another user question covering this very topic. Anyway, to cut a long story short, your posted code snippet just saved
me at least two or three hours which I would otherwise have wasted in figuring it out for myself.

Thanks a lot em_uk
