[amibroker] Point values for futures symbols

Trading Reference Links

Hello-New to the forum, and attracted to the software by it's 
combination of extensive backtesting/features/price.  However, I 
intend to use the backtester to analyze futures markets, and I have a 
concern.  On pg. 137 of of the User's Guide, within the Tutorial 
Section regarding the backtesting of futures contracts, T.J. 
writes: "When you load old database AmiBroker presets point value 
field to 1 and assumes that be default 1 point represents one dollar 
so one dollar change gives one dollar profit/loss.  This is done to 
ensure that you get correct results even if you (by mistake) run 
futures mode test on stocks."  

My question is: Given the preceding statement, does that mean that if 
I change the point values, per market, within the software, that the 
new point value settings will be erased at exit, and that I'd have to 
re-enter all of the point values for each market I'm interested in 
each time I open the software/select markets for a backtest?  

Thanks in advance for your help.
