This causes an error. The correct syntax is "pref setd gdb/include/rows
VALUE". It sets the preference "gdb/include/rows" to VALUE -- the same
as if "pref set" had been used.

Unlike "pref set", however, "pref setd" will not raise an error if the
preference is not defined; it will simply define it. I don't know why it
makes a distinction.

These functions are from libgui src/libgui/library/prefs.tcl. 

> set rows [pref get gdb/gdbreg/rows]

This will retrieve the preference setting "gdb/gdbreg/rows", storing it
in the local variable "rows".
