Jack,

I think you can do this all native to KiX..

code:
IF READVALUE("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail","")<>""
 $RC=WRITEVALUE("HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Clients\Mail","","Lotus Notes","REG_SZ")
ENDIF
Merging .REG file is not necessary for one or even five values. If you have "whole pile" of them, then yes you could do that.
