Is There A Better Way Of Doing This?

 
Is there a way to load a .set file by code? From what I've read it appears the only way is to do a file read, but this won't change the settings in the inputs dialog box which is what I'm looking to do through code.
 
Once a file is accessed by the MT4 kernel (not MQL), a mysterious MT4 file caching applies. Whatever you change in the original file, it will be overwritten by a future flush.
