Have you considered using APP_USER_DIR to handle where you put
the configuration file? I'm about to add some configuration
handling to an application and am thinking of using it to make
sure each user can easily save their own parameters.

As for parsing the configuration data, I've considered using save
files, but it seems to me that the simplest format would be to
have the configuration saved as IDL code. Then it can be edited
by hand if the user wants or reloaded by EXECUTE'ing the contents
of the file.
