include it in a Settings File.
Once you leave the CUSTOMIZ utility, your selected settings will remain operative on your workstation until you turn it off or Reset it, or until you make different choices with
CUSTOMIZ.
The Save Settings option of the CUSTOMIZ MAIN MENU COLUMN is used to store your choices in a Settings File. Once your selections reside in a Settings File, you can load them into your workstation with one simple command (see next section) •
5.2.2 USING SETTINGS FILES.
A Settings File contains a record of the settings you selected and saved while using the CUSTOMIZ menus (see Section 5.2.3 Save
Settings). Naturally, you can save as many different Settings Files as you wish. To load
(or make operative) a Settings File, simply type
CtIi'l'OMIZ filename<CR> from the CP/M prompt. For example, AXlJS'IOMIZ SF2<CR> will immediately implement all of the settings in file SF2 without taking you through the menus.
To load a Settings File, only the Settings File and the program file CUSTOMIZ.COM need be
present in the logged partition or on the logged disk. In other words, all of the other CUSTOMIZ files (see Section 5.11) are only necessary for creating a Settings File, not using one.
