so if lpAppName is NULL, it's supposed to copy all section names, and if 
lpKeyName is NULL, it copesi all key names in lpAppName section...maybe 
someone wasn't sure what to do if they were both NULL?  It seems like as 
long as lpAppName is NULL, it doesn't really matter what lpKeyName is, 
right?  If that is so, IMHO the code should reflect these rules by ordering 
the code so that you check AppName for NULL, and if it isn't, THEN you 
check KeyName for NULL.
