.ini files

Thank you for your prompt reply. I had a look in the 2 areas you named, but I didn't find anything that looked useful. In any case, all of these plist files have blank icons with the turned down corner, which means I can't do anything with them, right?

I will try to answer your question "What are you trying to configure? " although in honesty I didn't realise I was trying to configure anything!

Briefly: during a recent period of ill health, while signed off work, I came across a game on a Macworld CD which captivated me to the extent that I visited the website and 'joined up'. A couple of weeks ago the server which runs(?) the game crashed and a new one was put in place. There have been, perhaps inevitably, bugs to iron out since and at the moment uploading scores has been causing problems. The instruction we received to fix this was:

'To do this, close down DROD, locate the drod.ini file in your DROD directory ("data" sub-directory), and change "FullScoreUpload=0" to "FullScoreUpload=1". '

I hadn't a clue what that meant, or where to find the .ini file, so queried it and got this answer:

'I don't know the first thing about the mac port so it's possible that the filename is different. In any case, please let me know where the equivalent resides so I can update the highscore bug thread. I'm also thinking that an equivalent of "find in files" should point you in the right direction (though may take a while unless the mac indexes ascii files as Win XP does by default). Baring that, a drop to the prompt and something like:

find / -exec grep FullScoreUpload {} \;

may do it (again, a long process). '

You'll have gathered that I am not particularly technical when it comes to computers, but given instructions, I can usually sort out any problems
I encounter (the kind help of people on this site has been of great value). I am however lost with this. I have the 'Missing Manual' Book, but I really don't know where to look in it for help on this. Any further advice you can give will be much appreciated.

My thanks to you etresoft, but having looked as you suggested I have found no files related to 'caravel' or 'drod'.

My thanks to you, a brody.

Following a suggestion form someone on the game site who is clued up about macs, I have now located the drod.ini file.

In case it is useful for someone else, I found it by control-clicking on the software icon, and going to 'Show Package Contents' and then Contents/Resources/Data. I managed to open the file using Text Edit.

Grateful thanks to all who helped.
