I've been trying to go thru some ideas, right now .ini files are restricted
to one file for each item: commandlist, hotkey, scheduled task. I just
wanted to throw an idea of merging more than one of those items into a
single .ini. while maintaining:
-currently made structure
-ini parser compliance

The main problem is how does powerpro differentiate between a section header
numbering being part of a commandlist, or hotkey, or scheduler and where to
import it...right?

It would change/?improve? several things:
-eliminate having to have specify what you're importing: ImportCL,
ImportSched etc.
-allow greater freedom in import/export dialogs
-allow the more complicated scripts to be merged into a single ini file.
-OooOoo...couldn't a .powerpro file be build into an [xscript] section and
be extracted at import to auto-create the .powerpro file in the /scripts/
folder. That'd be nice! (function to add bruce?) [xPPScript:filename]

What if you had header-looking items that acted like html tags?

[commandlist]
[command list name]
[1]
[2]
etc
[/commandlist]

[commandlist2]  ;this would be the only drawback, having to incrementally
number commandlists
[command list name2]
[1]
[2]
etc
[/commandlist]

[hotkey]
[1]
[2]
etc
[/hotkey]

Ideas? Am I missing something that makes it impractical? Too much work? =)

Sounds good! I can't picture it in my mind yet, but maybe once I get an
example or two under my belt I'll be able to see it better =)
