+==== Format ====
+**getsetting** ( //program_name//, //key_name// )
+==== Description ====
+Retrieve a setting from the system registry (or other persistent storage).  The //program_name// and //key_name// are required by this function to access a previously saved setting.  The empty string "" will be returned if the requested setting has not been previously set.
+The saved value will be available to other BASIC-256 programs and should remain available for an extended period.
+This statement may be disabled because of potential system security issues.  Availability may be configured in the IDE by going to the Edit>Preferences menu.
