Obviously, if the INI file is read-only you cannot store any new information
in it.

Probaly a good idea to test my idea to see if it causes any other problems.
If not, the loss of recent file info is hardly a big deal.

R:Base would do well to store dynamic data like recent files in the
registry, rather than in the INI file.  That is where most programs store
this kind of information.  The less you write to important files like this,
the less chance there is of them being corrupted.

Subject: RE: Placement of RBASE.CFG and RBASe.INI files


G'day Dennis,

So locating the rbase.ini file in a read only directory
does not adversely affect R:BASE not being able to write
the RecentFile1-5 lines into the file?
