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'.
KEYWORDS
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.
