PreferenceGroup()

Syntax

Result = PreferenceGroup(Name$)

Creates a new group (in the form: [Name$]) or change the current group in the preference file. All following read or write operations will be restricted to this group. To move outside of any groups, an empty 'Name$' can be used. The command returns 1 if the group allready existed and 0 if not.

If the group does not exist yet, it will not be created immediately. It will instead be created once the first key is written to it. This allows to use the PreferenceGroup() command to test if a group exists without creating many empty groups.
