uh .. usually ppl use .ini files to store certain global variables, like paths.
If you have eurora as email-application, check out eudora.ini .. it also holds lotsof info (your email settings!), info that you typically want to store in a file that's readable by us human beings..
I once made a little Boulderdash clone in B+, I stored the mapwidth, mapheight and framerate in an ini-file that I automaticaly load at game startup. This way I can vary the size of the map 'outside' the source, meaning that I don't need to recompile the project.
