Okay, here's a very simple example:
http://aggggge.funpic.org/ini.mfa
That application simply stores the text you write in that edit box, and lets you load it later on. INI is very easy. All INI files contain groups, which in turn contain items, which hold the data itself. The first thing you want to do is to specify the INI file you're going to use. Usually you want to access an INI file from the same directory as your game. To do that, you use the expression Appdrive$ + Appdir$ + "filename.ini". You can of course replace "filename.ini" with anything you want. You can also just specify a filename, like just "data.ini", but then it'll save it under C:\windows\ or somewhere.
After you've specified the INI file you're working with, you can start loading and saving data. To do that, you simply use the functions the INI object provides. To save string data, you use the Set string - (group, item) action. You then specify the group and the item in which you want to store the data, and then the data itself. The Set value - (group, item) is exactly the same, but for numbers. If you ever need to convert numbers to strings, or strings to numbers, you can use the str$() and Val() functions respectively.
To load data, you have to use one of the INI object's expressions, like the Get string - (gruop, item) expression. You pass the group and item name as arguments, and it returns the data. Simple.
I don't know if it'll make it easier for you to understand, but you can open up an INI file in Notepad. INI files are structured like this:
[group]
item = value
item2 = blablabla
[another_group]
abc = 123
blabla = omgwtfbbq
Happy coding, hope this helps.
