I want to distinguish 3 types of config file: *.ijs are user-defined scripts, e.g. startup.ijs *.cfg are user-defined configurations, and are typically not valid scripts *.dat store session information, and are defined by the session, e.g. recently-used files, or window positions The *.dat files are now all in plain text, but in theory could be binary. The "dat" extension seemed appropriate for these. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
