8.4 Loading and Saving Options
The Option settings are stored in file Editor.cfg on
the PC hard drive. When the Editor software is first
installed and operated, the Editor.cfg file contains
the default Option settings. If you make any changes
using the Options menu, the Editor software gives you
three choices for saving changes:
• If you want to keep these changes, you should
Save Options to disk. This action will save your
changes to the Editor.cfg file on the hard drive,
which makes these settings the new options.
• If you want to change Options only temporarily,
such as during a particular session you are run-
ning, then, you can make changes as desired but
not save the Options to disk.
• If you start changing Options for either permanent
or temporary use, then you change your mind and
want to restore the previous settings, you can
Load Options from Disk to load the previously
saved Options from the Editor.cfg file on the
hard drive.
In addition, the Default Options resets the Option set-
tings to the original default settings, which are the
options that were in effect when the program was first
installed and operated.
Example Procedure
1. To load previously saved options settings, select
Load Options from Disk from the Options menu.
