Yes.

Settings is an "auto-creatable" class, whose default instance use 
"~/.config/gambas/<myproject>.conf" file (in the development version).

But you can create your own settings file by instanciating the class this way:

MySettings = NEW Settings("/path/to/my/conf/file")

The Read() and Write() is used for reading and writing settings of some 
objects in a standard way: at the moment, only windows and splitter 
coordinates.

You have more information in the gambas wiki.
