You can configure settings through the Settings API Procedures. These procedures are similar to registry or INI file procedure calls.

SETTINGS_READ_STRING(ret_val,namespace,settings_name,default)SETTINGS_READ_DATE(ret_val,namespace,settings_name,default)SETTINGS_READ_NUMBER(ret_val,namespace,settings_name,default)SETTINGS_READ_BOOL(ret_val,namespace,settings_name,default)
