    I usually use .txt files instead of .ini. Alternatively, .rc files are nice as well... On the other hand, if you will be passing your script to someone else, embedding the config data in the script is a little more portable (although forces you to update the code eveytime there is a config change, versus just messing with the .ini/ .txt/ .rc file).

    Ah, TIMTOWTDI.
