just try using the unix command lsof

if you know the PID aka Process ID for the application yr running try lsof -p PID_NUM_HERE

it will give you a list of every open file your application is using along with it's full path

finally, if that gave you too many lines try lsof -p PID_NUM_HERE | grep -E 'txt|properties|config'

I know you wanted the files listed it in a help file however this will work 100% of the time

Best, Stephen

this will work 0% of the time if app closes config after reading
