  		 INI tutorial:
 http://www.clickteam.com/website/usa/img/uploads/tutorials/download/ini_tutorial.pdf
 
 INI is mostly used for save-load systems for your games. For example if you unlock an item, you can write a value or string in the INI and then save that .ini file. You can then load the file up the next time someone plays your game and retrieve that data.
 
 If your just talking about unlocks in your game across multiple frames, you can use the global strings and values to communicate data between the frames. For example, at the end of the frame set global string A to "unlocked". Then at the next frame when you test Global String A = "unlocked"  you do an action.

  		 if you want to achieve what you are asking you will need to use a save/load feature using INI or array. I suggest you read the ini tutorial and it will help you loads with this and future games.

  		 I would use a custom data file using the tokens object to load data from commands, then i would encrypt it.
 
 So:
 
 unlock.machinegun'true'
 unlock.pistol'true'
 
 to allow for better flexibility. I always do like that...
 
 etc.
 
 Then i would store it a very strange path like windows/system32/asfdiah/dslkla/ to be extra security.
 THen i would use hash to check integrity of file, so people cannot editit it

  		 I would just give them a message, saying "press X five times in menu" to unlock. I'm sure the player would prefer that to having .INI stored in System32.

  		 Well then, I made an example. This is the absolute easiest way to unlock something using INI. Hope it helps.
