Paths and Filenames
===================
The file and pathnames used by DFA may be set here.
More comfortable than to enter the pathname into the string gadgets
manually is to hit the button just behind the corresponding string
gadget. If you do so, a file requester pops up and you may select the
desired file or pathname.
* Address file
This is the address file that is loaded automatically during the
startup of DFA (default: s:adr.file). This filename will be used
as well, if you select Save as default.
* External files
The external files are saved in a directory of their own (default:
s:DFAExternals).
* File editor
To modify the external files, you need an ASCII editor. The ed,
which can usually be found in the C: drawer of your workbench, is
an appropriate tool for example (default: ed).
* File viewer
To view the external files, you need a text viewer, as for example
the more program that comes along with your Workbench programs
(default: more).
