Parameters function

The Parameters function allows you to display and modify the settings of a variety of parameters at any time during a File-AID session. These parameters are used throughout File-AID.

Default values are originally set when the product is installed. You can modify the values for your own user ID without affecting the values of other users. To do this you simply overtype the parameter value with a new value. Changes are in effect until you modify the parameter again. Changes are saved from session to session.
