That's  not  true!  Even  TB!  already  uses the Document and Settings
directory  (  ie,  C:\Documents and Settings\USER\Application Data\TheBat!)
to store the mailboxes among other things.

The  programmers  could argue that it's less convenient than using the
registry  but Delphi (they programmed TB! using Delphi, right) already
has some nifty functions to deal with INI file, AFAIK.
