Salut,

With settings component Gambas create automaticaly a new file whose name is 
your program name with the .conf extension locate in /home/user/.gambas for 
gambas1
to update it see example below.
Type = "mysql"
Name = "test"
Login = "user"
Password = "123456"
Version = "1.00"
Settings["/dbase/Type"] = Type
Settings["/dbase/Name"] = Name
Settings["/dbase/Login"] = login.
Settings["/dbase/Password"] = Password
Settings["/Version"] = Version

to read it
Type = Settings["/dbase/Type"]
Name = Settings["/dbase/Name"] 
Login = Settings["/dbase/Login"]
Password = Settings["/dbase/Password"]
Version = Settings["/Version"]
