Now I understand how to use the ini's, I just have a general question
for the programmers out there:  Don't you hate to find some shareware
program has put some type of crap into your OS2.INI and/or USER.INI?
Doesn't it royaly piss you off when some idiotic program you look at
writes K upon K of data into one of these files.  You trashed the
program months ago (after only one look) and now you find all this crap.

Proramming ethics:  Is it right for use to use the OS2 or the USER INI
file for our programs crud?  Personally, I don't think any program,
other than OS/2 itself, should ever write data into these critical
files.  This is especially true since you can just as easily use your
own PERSONAL ini file.

Thoughts,
Michael Douglass
