Re: Text File Configurations

I have to give my two cents:  The configuration form was a hack on one of our 
developer's parts.  GNUe-Forms  was not meant to do tasks like that. 

Forms is a database-centric UI system. But, as Bajusz points out, the code 
behind it is in 
gnue-common/datasources/drivers/special/configfile.Connection.py.
