3.2 Setting preferences

Choose Tools > Preferences... or click to raise the Preferences dialog. This dialog is used to specify:

• options affecting the development environment in general such as those described in Re-using tool windows or the name of your initialization file, and
• options specific to each type of tool, such as the Editor tool, Inspector tool and so on.

The tool-specific options are described in the chapter relevant to each tool.

The remainder of this section describes the general environment options. To see these, ensure that Environment is selected in the list on the left side of the Preferences dialog, and select the General , Emulation , Styles , and File Encodings tabs.

In all cases your setting is preserved for future use after you press OK to close the Preferences dialog.
