Organization of the Default File

The default file is an ordinary text file and can be created and maintained with a standard editor.

The file may contain a number of different parameters, in some cases with assigned values. If a parameter is given in the file, this means that the system default action controlled by the parameter or the system default value associated with the parameter is superseded by the given user default. Inversely, if the parameter is not given in the default file, the system default action or system default value is valid.

The following rules must be followed when parameters are specified in the file:

• Values, assigned to parameters must be preceded by an equal sign ("=") or a colon.

• Multiple values are separated by commas.

• Parameters and their assigned values are separated from other parameters by carriage return.

• The order between parameters is irrelevant.

• The parameters can not be abbreviated.
