Three questions:

1) Is it acceptable to structure the prefrecord like this?

BEGIN RECORD prefsRecord
DIM prefs%(60) as integer
DIM prefsdouble#(60) as double
END RECORD
DIM gPref AS prefsRecord

I had prefs and prefsdouble set to different sizes, prefs%(60) &
prefsdouble#(5), and got an array bounds error.

2) Can you see anything wrong with setting the prefs this way?
LOCAL FN PrefsSet
beep
gPref.prefs%(1)=textsize%'textsize
gPref.prefs%(2)=fontNumber%'font
gPref.prefs%(3)=gTrackSpace'X-starting point of eack plot track
gPref.prefs%(4)=NormalSpace'X-starting point of eack plot track
... 56 more set here plus 4 prefsdouble...
gPref.prefsdouble#(1)=doublevar1#
gPref.prefsdouble#(2)=doublevar2#
gPref.prefsdouble#(3)=doublevar3#
gPref.prefsdouble#(4)=doublevar4#
PUT PREFERENCES "WellPlot4 Pref File",gPref
END FN

3) Anything wrong with retrieving prefs like this?
LOCAL FN PrefsGetInt
textsize%=gPref.prefs%(1)
fontNumber%=gPref.prefs%(2)
gTrackSpace=gPref.prefs%(3)
NormalSpace=gPref.prefs%(4)
... 56 more prefs retrieved here plus 4 prefsdouble...
doublevar1#=gPref.prefsdouble#(1)
doublevar2#=gPref.prefsdouble#(2)
doublevar3#=gPref.prefsdouble#(3)
doublevar4#=gPref.prefsdouble#(4)
GET PREFERENCES "WellPlot4 Pref File",gPref
END FN
