Saving Your Settings

Saves the current settings of Alias option boxes.

Overview

The options file contains the values of most Alias option boxes. When an options file is loaded, the settings of these options are restored to the values saved in the options file, or to the system defaults, if the file Alias_options is loaded.

To create a set of options that will automatically load when you start Alias, set the options boxes to the values you want, and create an options file named user_options. This file is automatically loaded whenever Alias is run and sets the initial values of the Alias option boxes.
