I would use disk file named for the name of the form saved in the users temp
dir. If there is more data than just the location you want to save, then
use a hidden variable listbox to load/save the settings. You save the lines
of info in the form of RBase commands, then all that is required to process
the lines is when you read the line into a variable, you execute it using
ampersand of the variable.
This process is present in some of my presentations and examples from maybe
4 or 5 years back. I am on vacation at the moment and can't get at my stuff
readily, but if any specific examples are needed that you can't figure out
yourself, I will endeavor to retrieve the examples for you.

You're welcome. I just realized that's gonna give every form the same
size & position (because I only have the caption buttons on one form, the
Main Menu). You could add a UserParamFormName column to UserParams and
each form would have its own size & position.

Marc - I put buttons on the caption bar. A "Save" button stores the
left, top, width and height values in a UserParams table.
3 cols in the table UserParams:
ParamUserID TEXT 16
UserParamName TEXT 24
UserParamValue TEXT 64 (that might be a little long for form
coordinates, but I store other stuff in that col too, e.g. emails addrs)
