Customizing HP Browse
The HP Browse environment can be customized to suit your needs. HP
Browse has several options which control certain aspects of your browsing
session. With the Set Options function, you can examine and change these
options. See "Option-Setting Functions" in Chapter 3 for a description
of the options.
Seeing the Current Options
To see the current option settings:
1. Press the MPE and Options function key.
2. Press the Set Options function key. HP Browse displays the
options.
3. After examining the browse options, press Return or the Exit
Options function key to return to browsing the file.
Changing the Options
To change any option:
1. Press the MPE and Options function key.
2. Press the Set Options function key.
3. Press the function key corresponding to the option you want to
change. (Use the Next Options function key to display the second
set of function keys.) If the option only has two possible
values, the option will change to the other value. Otherwise you
must provide the new option value.
4. If applicable, type the new value for the option and press Return.
If you do not enter a new value, the original option value will be
restored.
5. Press Return, or the Exit Options function key to return to
browsing the file.
Saving Your Changes to the Options
If you change any of the options, your changes will only be in effect for
the current HP Browse session. The next time you run HP Browse, the
options will be reset to the default values. If you want to save the
changes you have made to the options, you must save them in a
configuration file.
To save the current options in a configuration file:
1. Press the MPE and Options function key.
2. Press the Set Options function key.
3. Press the Next Options function key.
4. Press the Save Config function key.
5. If you want to save the options in the file named HPBCONFG, press
Return. If you want to use a different filename, type the name,
then press Return.
If you save the options in HPBCONFG, HP Browse will automatically use
that file every time you use HP Browse, as long as it is in the group you
are logged on to.
If you save the options to a file other than HPBCONFG, or if the file is
in a group other than the one you are logged on to, you must use a file
equation redirecting HPBCONFG to your file. For example, :FILE
HPBCONFG=MYCONFIG.MYGROUP
