I agree with David's point. It should be possible for
the file to describe several command lists while keeping
to the rule of unique section names.

One possible method would be to simply add "1-"
before every section name, which would otherwise be unchanged
from your current method. There would be no need for an extra
section at the start ([List])
Thus:

[1:Properties]
Name= first list's name
... more property lines ...

[1:1]
... lines for List1, Item1 ...

[1:2]
... lines for List1, Item2 ...

[1:<n>]
... lines for List1, Item<n> ...

[2:Properties]
Name= second list's name
... more property lines ...

[2:1]
... lines for List2, Item1 ...

[2:2]
... lines for List2, Item2 ...

As you say, this is only for future-proofing.
In the first release you could keep the limitation
of only one command list per ini file. Just make all
the section names start with 1:

_________________________________________

You could also future-proof the possibility of one day
even including HotKeys and Scheduler stuff in the same file.
To do that,
add H: in front of every section name in the HotKey ini files
and add S: in front of every section name for Scheduler ini files.

Therefore one day you could implement a total export
from pproconf to a single ini file.

Also, by adding H: and S:, there is really no need for
three commands *Configure ImportCL / ImportHot / ImportSched

Instead a single command *Configure Import filespec
would deal appropriately with any of the current three types
of inifile -- and would later be able to cope with a combined
type of file.

Please at least keep unique section labels.
