It would require a lot more than that. It would entail changing the reading as well so that it preserved the comments as well as the order of sections & keys, and a way of storing those associated comments in sequence. I looked into it a fair while back and it was a LOT more work than I cared to do for minimal gain. I wimped out and just documented it with "If you use the ability to (re)write a configuration file, it will not keep any comments or ordering from any original sources." -tkc
