The WIN32API provides functions for reading and writing INI files.

To read from an INI file use
DECLARE INTEGER GetPrivateProfileString IN Win32API AS GetPrivStr ;
String cSection, String cKey, String cDefault, String @cBuffer, ;
Integer nBufferSize, String cINIFile

cSection is the name of the section in the INI file.
cKey is the name of the key you want to read.
cDefault is the default value to return if the key does not exist.
cBuffer is a string buffer to receive the key value.
nBufferSize is the size of cBuffer.
cINIFile is the path of the INI file.

cBuffer will be terminated with a null character [CHR(0)] you will need to substring the result to get rid of it.

To write to an INI file use
DECLARE INTEGER WritePrivateProfileString IN Win32API AS WritePrivStr ;
String cSection, String cKey, String cValue, String cINIFile
