Excellent, thnx. The config files was what I was looking for.  It's a bit=20
unusual to keep the config files there (used to finding them in either /etc=
=20
or in ~/.progname :P)

Since I'm rambling already I've got another one for you guys (propably just=
 as=20
simple once you know the answer):

How do I pass cmd line args to a program I wan't to debug? I.e. something l=
ike=20
'debug with arguments'  or 'run with arguments'. Any debugger is fine (pdb =
or=20
pydb (with or without ddd).  Preferably without manually editing sys.argv=20
each time I run it....

- --=20

Yours etc.
