the wrb.app file format is just like the old win3.1 .ini file format. Its simply:

[Application defined Section Name]
variable_name = variable_value
variable_name = variable_value
; this is a comment
variable_name = variable_value

The contents and name of each section is very application specific and the only supported mechanism to set/change them is to use the gui applications. As the application server lets you plug cartridges into it at will -- the sections/contents of these sections will change (each application will typically add sections to this file).
