My writing is based on the assumption that the tool will work the same way as the current python parser, i.e. a value not found in the section will be taken from DEFAULT. If the default values for a new section are taken from the DEFAULT section it could be difficult to determine if a section value is a unique section value or a DEFAULT value. > > BTW, I will add my changes to the desktop code (and also some viewer > > changes) on Sunday evening. I'll have to postpone my changes to the code in CVS. I got back home much later than I had planned -- I will add them tomorrow instead. /Mike
