Hi Justin, I like the simplicity of having the one .ini file. A single file in a single place easy to edit and easy to check all settings with say the OSGRID version, or where I had a problem. I felt that this was a strength was the simple of this approach. A single place also makes it easy to know where and what file to check. I have also needed to check the script engine used, avatar settings and language settings even as a fairly new user. It is nice to have a directory into which the examples can be stored though.
