5.5.15 Option parameters
The option system offers the possibility of specifying input to the model spec-
ification (PFS-file) without using the editor. The input to be specified through
the option system mostly consists of parameters which normally should not
be used.
Example
The format of the option system is very simple and is illustrated below. You
add the option parameter as a keyword in the section called OPTION_PA-
RAMETERS in the specification file (file with extension *.BW). In this example
the
Name_of_Text_Editor is set to “Textpad.exe” (see section 5.2.1). The
default value is one.
