Hey guys.

I'm sorry to do this, but I honestly don't know where to start, I figured that someone here will undoubtedly know something and might be able to help me out.

I dont want to write too much as usual, so the basic is I have a script which creates custom popups on my XBox when people sign in.  I'm looking to add more personal options such as certain contacts.

Ideally I'd like to be able to add contacts addresses into an .ini file under [always], [first time] and [never] to send popups depending on the group theyre in.  However having looked around I can't find anything for me to learn how to do an .ini, or even a .txt file taht I coulod use similarly.  I know I could do it in the script memory, but I want it to be more permanent settings (obviously could be changed from contact window).

Anyway, can anyone suggest anything to pull this off at all?  I'm open to any ideas, but my skill is pretty limited.

Cheers
