+## Set configuration variables
+You can set variables in gam.cfg with an editor or from the command line with GAM.
+
+```
+<Config> ::=
+        config (<VariableName> [=] <Value>)* [save] [verify [variables <RESearchPattern>]]
+```
+- `<VariableName> [=] <Value>`
+  - Set `<VariableName> = <Value>` in the current section
+  - All `<VariableNames>` except section are allowed.
+  - The `=` is optional but must be surrounded by spaces if included.
+- `save`
+  - Write configuration data to gam.cfg
+- `verify`
+  - Print the variable values for the current section
+  - Use `variables <RESearchPattern>` to display variables with names selected by `<RESearchPattern>`
+  - Values are determined in this order: Current section, DEFAULT section, Program default
+
+You can prefix `<Config>` with `<Select>` to set a variable in a particular section.
+* `select default <Config>` - Set a variable in the `DEFAULT` section
+* `select xyz <Config>` - Set a variable in the `xyz` section
+
+For example, to set yiur workspace Customer ID and domain name:
+```
+gam config customer_id C0123abc domain mydomain.org save
+```
