{general methods for reading and writing of program.ini files}
{ at the beggining of program.init before (inherited init) call config.init
  (calls: FindName to find config, Open to read in .ini texts, and Read
  to init data segment (global) variables, Read also sends message to
  App to ask for reading config, but at the start App is nil)

  All objects should call Config^.ReadWriteValue for its variables during
  their init and done

  Use proc AddGlobalVar in unit's init sections to add
  global vars (DEFINE NEWCONFIG must be then used)

  All .ini texts will be red in memory and data segment (global) variables get
  read in automatically when defined in TRecordArray type variable
  passed as config.init parameter

  Override procedures:
    SetDefault (to define default values) and
    SetOptions to process command line parameters
    AfterRead to make adjustments according to values obtained by above methods

  During initialization of heap objects, call config.readvalue
  for objects's variables with appropriate params, if corresponding
  section will not be found, variables stay unchanged

  at the end of program.init call config.close, to dispose .ini texts
  if you want.

  respond to :
    cmWriteConfig = cmBroadcastUser + 8;
    cmReadConfig = cmBroadcastUser + 8;
  if you want to save values to config on SaveConfigTo command

  At the beginning of program.done section  call config.open - texts get
  read in memory, but don't overwrite variables, than call in objects
  done methods config.writevalue, at the end of program.done call
  config.done (data segment vars get written, alse message to app is send,
  but that is nil again), that calls Write if global variable SaveConfigOnExit
  is true.
