How would the .INI format solve the problem? You suggested a format like: [key bindings] F2=something What should "something" be? It would probably be: F2=show_wps,down,500,yes,no,yes What's the difference? And I still think the file format is the least problem of them all. We can change that a dozen times if we wish. The code is the hard part. /Linus Received on 2002-10-02 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
