I understand the reasoning behind not modifying the base .ini files, but I'm having a problem getting a handle on when and where the different files should be used. For example, in the demo distribution, there are two files in siteaccess/demo, override.ini.append and site.ini.append. Then there is reference in the docs to and override folder beneath the siteaccess folder, that I assume one has to create.
I'd appreciate anyone who could either point me to a document that explains the difference in these files and folders, or give me a basic explanation of how the two are used. Also, how the override templates found under design\demo\override for example are needed/used if each design folder is a separate design.
ThanksRWW

This page might be of some help:http://ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/documentation/installation_and_configuration/configuration/configuration_files
The override.ini (+ .append files) are used to configure which templates override which ones. The overriding templates are in override/templates under a design.
The site.ini (+ .append files) are used to configure site settings.
- .append files append settings to a configuration file in /settings.- the "override" folder in /settings is used to store the site-wide .append files, and is not related to the template override system.
