- IPREFS (ONLY in 2.x/3.x) (located in C: directory)
-
-
- NAME
-
- IPREFS - Managages the Preferences scheme in 2.x/3.x.
-
- SYNOPSIS
-
- IPREFS [QUIT]
-
- DESCRIPTION
-
- This command will read all the preference settings in
- the ENV:Sys directory and puts those settings into
- effect. IPREFS hangs out in memory and looks out for
- changes made to the preference settings.
-
- For IPREFS updating functions to work you must have
- all the windows of any process running closed that have
- opened up on the Workbench. You willknow if you have
- something open when you try to reset a Preference setting
- and get a message saying: 'Intuition is attempting to
- reset the Workbench screen. Please close all windows
- except drawers.' If you get this during bootup then you
- probably entered a command in the startup-sequence before
- IPREFS was run. This is a good reason why you should not
- alter your startup-sequence and make any extra programs
- run from your user-startup script. But, if you absolutly
- must enter a command before IPREFS, then run its output
- to NIL:. So, to run 'NeatProgram Keywords Arguments'
- before IPREFS, then you should enter it as 'NeatProgram
- >NIL: Keywords Arguments'.

-
- QUIT
- Under 2.x only: This lets you quit IPREFS while
- keeping all the Prefrences intact. This keeps anything
- from changing the preferences as they are updated. This
- was removed under 3.x.
-
- NOTE: IPREFS is started during system startup. If you
- try to run it again you will get an error message saying
- that you already have it runnig and that you can't run it
- again.
