Vic, I've got it to load and save standard Preferences files, (i.e. devs:system-configuration) by just reading and writing the file from/to a Prefrences structure. Very easy! Also makes it possible to use the files directly through a program like setprefs. I am using ARP, so command parsing is absolutely no problem. It saved me a lot of work in writing a parser myself. But this means that anyone using the program must have the ARP.library in his/her libs: directory. (You can't have you cake and eat it, too! (grin)). Anyway, I've just got to make sure that the program is behaving itself properly, (no unlocked locks or unfreed memory) before I write the docs and upload it. It is quite large though (about 10K) because it has to deal with every possible printer setting. Khalid.
