Exactly what is the purpose of your argument, putting words in my mouth I 
never said or just being annoying? You can still access it via the GUI, so 
it has not been taken out of it.  The feature changed, that's all! - And 
that is what is in the part of the paragraph you omitted: "To the contrary, 
you have access to "the command-line" directly via the Render Settings 
dialog. As such, all commands to read and write INI files are at our disposal.".

That is exactly what I said in my first response, except giving the exact 
command-line arguments to do it.

As Mac like as INI files...
