Yep, very inelegant, but I had no other choice.
I could not process Qt's byte-array to be returned as a
buffer of string. There are only two options, either supply
the filename of process a byte-array.

Probably someone can help in this direction.

Yes, this can be documented, and I have included it in 
FAQs section.

Why it is "sad". User is never allowed to include the 
contents of his choice in hbide.ini ( for historic reasons 
I kept the extension .ini, it could been something else ),
as the contents of hbide.ini are subject to be re-written
at the time hbIDE exits, making it unfit for user-defined 
contents.

However user can add/delete/modify the existing entries
but within the norms of hbide.( let_us_say_something_else ).

Probably we should not concentrate on this issue until
I find a way ( or someone else ) to get back byte-array 
as string.

Thank you for peeping deep.
