  111. ECHO Read a value from the specified INI file
  112. ECHO.
  113. ECHO Usage:  READINI  "ini_file"  "section"  "key"
  114. ECHO Where:           "ini_file" is the file name of the INI file to be read
  115. ECHO                  "section"  is the section name, without the brackets
  116. ECHO                  "key"      is the key whose value must be read
  117. ECHO.
  118. ECHO Example: if MYPROG.INI looks like this:
  119. ECHO     [Section 1]
  120. ECHO     Key1=Value 1
  121. ECHO     Key2=Value 2
  122. ECHO     [Section 2]
  123. ECHO     Key2=Value 4
  124. ECHO Then the command:  READINI "MYPROG.INI" "section 1" "key2"
  125. ECHO will return:       Key2=Value 2
