With Gambas 3, profiles can be created with the Settings class, read out as well as evaluated, changed, saved and deleted without adding further files to the project as in Example 3.

Figure 19.1.3.2.1: Profile Manager - Gambas 3

The changes in the source code in Gambas 3 compared to the GB2 source code in chapter 19.1.3.1 are very minor and only affect lines 2 and 9, where 'SettingsP' is exchanged for 'Settings':
