So you want to create, save and read INI files and also show that data in a dialog from what I gather.
What kind of experience do you have with PAWN or programming/scripting in general?
The easiest way to make/save/read INI files is using an include or similar already made (avoid DINI, it is slow as hell), I use SII at the moment and it is very easy to use. Keep in mind you cannot open more than one file at a time (on a side note, if you log stuff, just use SA:MP's base I/O as you don't need anything more advanced than that).
Obviously you need a gamemode/script wide variable(s) to actually store this information for reading/writing and displaying.
Then I believe it's onPlayerText you can check what comes in if it's /showmenames or what ever you want followed by the ID of the character and then use ShowPlayerDialog.

That's ok, as far as SA:MP with PAWN goes you could say I am relatively new, but I have roughly 10 years of multiple programming and scripting languages under my belt, so I can get by easily and help even here to a point, it just gives me an idea of how to get my points across and such.
So for the INI files, get SII (in include section of forum I think), it will be a file you need to put in PAWNO's inc directory and then at top of your script put <SII> along with others. The topic for SII itself will explain it's use, but it is fairly simple:
INI_Open("pathToMyFile/myfile.ini");
INI_ReadString(var, "KeyName");
INI_Close();
ReadString for SII is different from all other Read/Write functions as you need to supply the variable in which to store the value of "KeyName". If you are not familiar with basic INI format it is:
Message = Hello!
Message is the "KeyName" and Hello! is the value, = is the seperator.
If you want to try SII go for it and let me know how you go with experimenting a bit with it, and if your happy with that we can move on to tackling the next part.

SII distorts? Could you be more specific (I haven't had any problems with reads being different than written data).
I use and recommend it at the moment because it's the only one I could get to work, that functions the way I think it should.
