I'm talking about how the decision should be made as to which takes precedence. It's fine to document which one *was* chosen, but that doesn't eliminate the problem of conflicting settings making a mess. Someone else (Robert maybe?) gave an explicit example of how three files could have overlapping settings. Of course, *my* tool will name its configuration file " !.conf". -Kevin
