You may use API functions to access to a INI file.
You can see a sample in Tastrade application at VFP\SAMPLES\TASTRADE folder.
Also, you can download a INI Class library from the File section in Universal Thread (INIFILES.ZIP). This is very, very simple to use it and comes with samples.
Good Luck!
