If it is just a sequential number, wouldn't it be easier to just leave • it out
altogether, and say the directories will be searched in the order they • appear in
the file?

The desire was to preserve standard Windows INI file formatting, and each • data
line in an INI file has the form <key> = <value> (spaces optional).  The • numbers
were suggested as keys, with positive responses from the people that • responded.

As a pratical manner, it's actually easier for a Windows program to load • the
settings this way, since it can repeatedly ask for the next numeric key in • the
[LDrawSearch] section until it gets a failed read.

Easier ? Hmmm - when you read from a file its more easy to do it by hand and
read it line by line.
If you read from the registry there is a enum function which returns every
value in a key ...

I'm still somehow a favorit of no numbers and equals at the beginning of the
line .....
