I added this to the wiki gb.settings page just above where it goes into
full detail about the format of the settings file.
http://gambaswiki.org/wiki/comp/gb.settings?l=enConfiguration File Syntax
Warning:

The information below can be useful but the Settings file syntax is
considered "internal" and is subject to change without notice at any time
so the information is unreliable.
It is recommended to *NOT* access the configuration files directly in your
application as the format may change. Use the Settings.class instead.


Wishing well :)
