Saving preferences
To save the settings file you can either choose Save as... from the Preferences box or choose Save preferences from the Options menu.
This latter command, on the Options menu, saves the current editor, assembler and Tools menu preferences under the name HISOFTED.INF. If you want to call your settings file a different name you should use Save as... in the Preferences... box, as described below.
When the editor is loaded, it looks for the HI SOFT ED. INF > configuration file firstly in the current directory (which is the folder where you double-clicked on the data file), then using the system path. Saving the editor preferences this way will put the .INF file in ^ the same place it was loaded from or, if it was not found, it will be placed in the current directory path.
In addition to saving the editor configuration the current program ~ buffer size, the options from within the assembler options dialog boxes, are also saved.
, Use Save as... from the Preferences box to save a settings file with a name other than HISOFTED.INF; an extension of .INF is still usual.
~ With this option you can save a number of different settings files under different names; however the editor always loads the settings file called HISOFTED.INF when it starts up so that, if you want to n9W< make a particular settings file the default, you will need to re-name it to HISOFTED.INF.
^ Reset
Clicking on this box causes the settings to be reset to their default values; useful if you have made a complete mess of your options.
