Yes, settings are forgotten at restart.

Current method is as follows:
- look for environment variable FRICAS_INITFILE, if this variable
has empty value than ignore possible initialization file.
otherwise look for file named by this variable, it the file
exists use it
- otherwies look for .fricas.input, if it exists use it
- otherwise look for .axiom.input, it it exists use it
Due to FRICAS_INITFILE you can have several different initialization
files without interference.
