Thanks.
Oh my, it seems I will have to study configuration settings, then.
For a start, I was already considering a plain text file (and I assume the configuration settings are more appropriate for this purpose); but does .NET use the concept of a "default directory"? That is, can I specify a filename without the full path?
Or should I store configuration files in some special .NET directory?
