public boolean writeOut(DataTable dt,

Writes to a CfgFile all the information in the corresponding table.

The BNF format of the files is:

         row       := '[entry]' (statement) * '[/entry]'
         statement := identifier '=' literal ';'

If you don't understand what this means just look in "data/users.cfg" for an example.
