contains

 

a

 

list

 

of

 

global

 

variables

 

which

 

allows

 

you

 

to

or

are

 

selected

 

in

 

the

If

 

you

 

select

 

“Use

with

 

the

 

“Start

the

the

them.

 

When

 

running

 

batch

 

mode,

 

the

replaces

 

your

in

 

the

 

specified

 

field

 

for

 

any

in

 

which

 

that
