Yes, only the type itself.  Default values are not part of the data type.  Try the strict typed definition and see if it retains your default values.

i will thank you, but the thing is, it does retain them now, after i did what's described earlier, for many times.

Be careful if you don't know exactly what you did.  There is a fair probability that it "accidentally" worked and it will rear its ugly head again down the road when you change that unknown condition.

so, based on what you telling me, I should go with the .ini file? that's the plan, but I have a huge chunk fo the code inherited in the lv6.1, so I wrote the new model in 2012 adaptable to the front interface of lv6.1 with hope that one day I will convert and then do the proper .ini file.
