19.2 Saving Option Information

Using the Options Menu, ``Save options'' selection you can save the current state of Ved to a file of your choice. The first prompt will ask for a filename. In the normal manner, Ved will check to see if the file already exists, and, if it does, prompt for ``overwriting'', ``appending'', or it will let you quit (presumably to try again with a different filename).

Once the file is opened you will receive a series of prompts so that you can save only sections of the RC data. Just answer [Y] or [N] as appropriate.

You should only save the parts of the RC information you need. This will make your RC files easier to manage, and will enable Ved to startup faster.

Once you have saved a particular set of options, we suggest you check the file before renaming it as user or local RC file.
