Hm... interesting. Someone chose to save the settings in a format that looks 
a bit like Scheme code. Unfortunately it isn't Scheme-like enough that you 
could use the "load" function in a Script-Fu script to load the curve 
settings via a script and use the contents of the file.

The Procedure browser doesn't list any calls for saving or loading curves. 
If others thing it would be a worthwhile addition to the API an enhancement 
request could be find in bugzilla.
