write config file data. All {\it Read} function take a default value which
will be returned if the specified key is not found in the config file.
-Currently, only two types of data are supported: string and long (but it might
-change in the near future). To work with other types: for {\it int} or {\it
-bool} you can work with function taking/returning {\it long} and just use the
-casts. Better yet, just use {\it long} for all variables which you're going to
-save in the config file: chances are that {\tt sizeof(bool) == sizeof(int) == sizeof(long)} anyhow on your system. For {\it float}, {\it double} and, in
-general, any other type you'd have to translate them to/from string
-representation and use string functions.
+Currently, supported types of data are:
+\helpref{wxString}{wxstring}, {\it long}, {\it double}, {\it bool},
+\helpref{wxColour}{wxcolour} and any other types,
+for which functions \helpref{wxToString}{wxtostring}
+and \helpref{wxFromString}{wxfromstring} are defined.
Try not to read long values into string variables and vice versa: although it
just might work with wxFileConfig, you will get a system error with
