rememberPrefs=getpreferences(); // capture all the prefs for restore later
show(getpreference(backgroundcolor)); // probably white. you could also do this to remember just one.
preference(backgroundcolor("orange")); // change something
show(getpreference(backgroundcolor)); // arghh! it is orange!
eval(rememberPrefs); // all better now

Not sure what exactly you are looking for, but there was an Add-In that could save multiple preferences and switch between them. Not sure whether it works with 17.

Thanks Craig. The startement 'getpreferences()' is the secret. Hans

Thanks statman - I downloaded the Preference Manager description. Looks interesting. Craigs getprefences() statement did solve my problem - Hans
