Maintain Program Paths Window

 

This window appears when you select Maintain Program Paths from the Scenario Maintenance menu

Purpose

This window displays program paths that have already been defined and enables you to add, amend and delete program paths.

Further information

For an introduction to program folders and paths, see Program Folders and Program Paths - Introduction.

Move through list

You can move through the list using the cursor and <Page Up> and <Page Down> keys in the standard way.

Add

To add a new program path, move the cursor to the line below the last entry in the list. Alternatively you can press <F5> to insert an entry into the list, or <F4> to go into 'Add' mode. The prompts are described in detail below.

Amend

To amend an existing program path, move the cursor to the required entry and press <Return>. The prompts are described in detail below.

Delete

To delete a program path, position the cursor on it and press <F7>. You are asked for confirmation before it is deleted.

The prompts are:

Folder

The id of the program folder the program path belongs to. Press <F1> for a pop-up enquiry.

Operator

(Only if the specified folder is personalised.) Enter the id of the operator the path is for. Up to three characters.

 

You can leave this blank to create a default program path to be used by all operators who share a standard program path; for example when several operators have Microsoft Word installed on their PC's in the default folders created by the Microsoft Office installation procedure.

Note

This item is case sensitive. 'AMF', 'Amf', and 'amf' are treated as completely different ids.

Description

Up to 30 characters of description.

Run process on desktop or server

(S/D.) Enter S to run the process on the server, D to run it on the desktop.

Path

Enter the full path and file name of the program you want to run. Up to 70 characters.

Note

If you are running Windows 95 and you use long file or folder names (i.e. in excess of eight characters), you need to use the alternative short names recognised by MS-DOS. You can find out what these are through the MS-DOS 'DIR' command, or by right-clicking on the folder in Windows Explorer and selecting 'Properties'.
