Hi all,

I just want to add my 2 cents also.

Once I did make a program that used the Windows Registry, and I found
the best location to save info for the user, to be in the key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\MyProgram

This way when the program starts for the first time reads keys from that
location or creates them for the first run.

(sorry if am saying something you already know, I did not even look to
the gretlw32 code )
