Setting PREFIX and Global String Options

The Prefix/Globals configuration page provides a form for entering both PREFIX paths and global string assignments.

PREFIX

The PREFIX is a list of directories and is used by Visual PRO/5 to initialize the file search sequence.

The total prefix length cannot exceed 1024 bytes. When a new directory is added, it is placed at the end of the prefix list. To add a directory to the PREFIX list, do the following:

Click Add.
Type in the directory.

Note: Use forward slashes (/) only and include the disk designator. Do not include embedded spaces in the path, and be sure to include a trailing forward slash.

To remove a directory from the PREFIX list, do the following:

Select the directory to remove.
Click Remove.

GLOBAL

The Global strings group is used for setting global string values in the Visual PRO/5 configuration file.

To add a global string value, do the following:

Click Add.
Type in the global string name in the first column of the grid.
Type in the global string value in the second column of the grid.

To remove a global string value, do the following:

Select the global string to remove.
Click Remove.
