Retrieving Previously Saved Settings

Restores the settings of Alias option boxes to previously saved values.

Overview

The Retrieve options menu item enables you to restore option box settings saved during a previous Alias session. The options file contains the values of most Alias option boxes. When an options file is loaded, the settings of these option boxes are restored to the file's values.

A special file named Alias_options can also be loaded. Loading this file causes Alias to set its option box contents to the default settings shipped with the software.
