<P>If you do not like FunnelWeb's default settings for its
command line options, there are a number of ways in which
you can change them.
<P><BLOCKQUOTE><B>Define an "alias":</B> Use your
operating system "<TT>alias</TT>" facility to
create an alias for FunnelWeb containing the desired
options. FunnelWeb processes options from left to right, so
you can override these defaults later if you wish.</BLOCKQUOTE>
<P><BLOCKQUOTE><B>Create a script called
"<TT>fwinit.fws</TT>":</B> When FunnelWeb starts up, it
executes a script called
"<TT>fwinit.fws</TT>"
if
such a script exists in the current directory. You can use
this fact to set options before the run of FunnelWeb proper
by creating such a script and placing a single
"<TT>set</TT>" command in it containing the desired options.
The main trouble with this approach is that the options in
the <SAMP>set</SAMP> command will be processed <I>after</I>
the command line options, which means that you won't be able
to override them on the command line.</BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>For example, you might be involved more with presenting
programs than with running them, and want FunnelWeb to
generate a documentation file by default, but not to produce
listing or product files by default. In Unix you could do
this with:
<P>

alias fw fw -L -O +T
