Hi Doug,

You could check out PrfOpenProfile and related functions. That are the
functions that allow you to read/write .INI files.

The basic Idea for reading an .INI is this:

   hab = WinQueryAnchorBlock(hWndFrame);

   if ((hMyHini = PrfOpenProfile(hab, "MyInI.INI"))!=NULLHANDLE)
   {

         if (PrfQueryProfileData(hMyHini,
                                 Application,
                                 Item,
                                 Src,
                                 (PULONG)&Size));
         else  Error=2;
         PrfCloseProfile(hMyHini);
   }
   else Error=1;
   return(Error);


The example above comes from an article of Mark Harrison in Electronic
Developers Magazine 1-6 (Nov 93). It may be found on bulletin boards,
Internet and Compuserve. Look for EDM*.*


Good Luck,  Johan
