Wow! A whole raft of information, Thanks George!
I figured that you would know about strtofile() being in foxtools. :-)

Unfortunately, prior to 6.0 the documentation incorrectly stated that you could read and write from any INI file. In reality, you could only use these with WIN.INI. Since it isn't mentioned, I assume that the PutProStrg() function doesn't advise other open applications in a change to WIN.INI, which should be done.
