Changing Default Settings
The program will work correctly with all of the standard default settings; however these
may be changed to reflect your personal requirements or those of your computer. The
default settings are the selections made for many of the programs where there is no user
input and are designed to yield logical results.
You may overwrite some of these intelligent defaults in normal use but this should not
create any problems since the defaults are only intended to get you started with the system
and should change as your knowledge of the system increases.
