>OK, yes. But what does the registry do? What is its function? Thank you.

Oh. I think I understand your confusion. There is no such thing as the
registry, per se. It is an invented name for the set of files that
registry editor can edit.

The editor understands both OS/2 INI files used by OS/2 apps and Windows
format registry files using the win32 apps. By default, the editor shows
the content of os2.ini, os2sys.ini, user.dat and system.dat. The first
two are the same files you are used to looking at with unimaint. The other
two are similar to what you are used to looking at on your windows
install.
