I know how to do it :) It's just that if the user has changed options while the program was running, this will have the fun effect of resetting their changes to the defaults. I think I know how to deal with this, though. (I'll probably just store the current settings somewhere and restore them after rereading the config file. Sounds a lot less hard now that I'm awake..)
