Okay. Makes sense. I can probably figure out how to do that bit.

Actually I broadly agree. And the introduction of   [wikidir]  section 
would ease setup & settings maintenance considerably.

Part of my interest in creating settings is for *path testing.* Parthly 
because I myself do typos often. But largely because I want all ".ini" to 
hold *relative addresses* (I try stay portable) and if you have complex 
relative pathing it can be cumbersome not having an immediate path check.

So. Agree your approach. But maybe I'll add some kind of setup related tool 
later?

I'm going to write you a seperate note on overall structure of  
settings.ini  based on what's emerging.
