Hi

My idea behind was that the rc file could be used to change to defaults of
psppire. It would be possible to create a link in the MSWindows build so
people can edit this file with notepad in a more or less userfriendly way
without the need of programming a configuration part.

For PSPP I don think it makes sense as people who use the commandline
version will be able to include the settings in there setup.

Have fun
