Don't know if you've ever used Powerbase, a shareware database for RISCOS 

http://www.boulsworth.co.uk/pbase/

but in the iconbar "Preferences" there is the opportunity to save the
settings in 1. the programme, 2.the database which is open at that moment or
3. for a particular user. ie you can define at which level at which your
settings are implemented. Is that too complex a schema for all the different
parameters available in StrongEd?
