The choices dialogue box (see figure [*]) is available from the icon bar menu. It allows you to set the default page magnification and positioning applied to documents when they are loaded.

There are four action buttons: Set implements the choices for the current session, Save implements the choices for this and future sessions, Cancel resets the choices displayed to those currently in use and Default sets the choices displayed to the last saved set of choices.

The choices are saved in a file called Choices in the DVIview directory. However, this is not particularly useful for those of you wanting to use DVIview on a network or from a read-only medium such as CD. So, DVIview can read a choices file from elsewhere. To enable this feature, simply define the environmental variable DVIview$OptionsFile to contain the filename of the choices file you want to use, before you run DVIview.
