But, I couldn't find anything related to what I would consider "character-specific settings [a Profile]." I mean things like the sizes, zoom ratio's and screen positions where the maps are placed, waypoint arrow size/position/its text size, map options such as transparency settings, etc., etc. It's this kind of stuff I thought belonged in the individually-modified character settings which would make up the custom Profile for that character.
I don't see how Warehouse, Bank, RBank, and flight paths, quests, etc. are related to "Profiles." Those things can't be shared with other characters but, Profiles can and maybe will be sharable someday. I still don't know where the current "Default" Profile info is located. ha ha. It's not on the path which I presented, and I may have missed seeing it in the Carbonite.lua, if it's there?
Anyway, I think I've asked too many questions already. I know this isn't a 'classroom.' I'm just interested. Thanks again!

When your looking at the carbonite.lua file, you'll see 3 main table headers
"Char" contains all flightpaths, visited venders, and map settings about what to show or not show. Those are per character.
"Global" contains all your character information, Warehouse, Quest info, logging, events. This is stuff that no matter what character your on, can be accessed.
"Profiles" contains all gathering resources, window placements, and general carbonite settings. It's this section that adding profile support will modify, allowing you to have multiple options for it instead of just the one global "default" one now.
