Gee, I thought *everyone* did it that way, by default! I've been using that
set-up ever since I made my first animation. Yes, I use it as a container for
almost every kind of command and switch that I need-- like Work_Threads,
Output_File_Type, Verbose, Output_Alpha, etc etc. Then I just comment them
on/off when needed (using a semicolon of course, not slash marks.) It seems to
be a nice quick way to invoke these things for me, even faster than command-line
settings.

I wish I could remember how I arrived at the idea; maybe it just seemed natural
at the time, instead of writing specific .ini files for specific scenes. Back
then, I probably didn't know much about .ini files themselves or how to use
them... so maybe it was a lucky discovery, by pure guesswork.

Yet, I've always wondered if my use of quickres.ini is an efficient way to
invoke these commands, compared to others' strategies.
