The RODGUI menu:
Save Settings
Whenever you work with ROD, the program works with some default
settings that can be edited while working with ROD and that can also
be saved to a file named 'rod_init.mac'. When you click this menuitem, you
force ROD to save these settings to that file which will be
saved to you current directory. When you start RODGUI again and want to use
this very settings , make sure that you are in the same directory to
which you saved the 'rod_init.mac' file.
Clear output window
Quite obvious. Clicking this menuitem clears the 'output window'.
It's highly recommended that you actually clear your output every
now and then because the data buffer of the output window is limited
to a certain amount of text. If you realize that this window doesn't
present your output anymore, it's about time to clear that area.
Quit
Quits the graphical user interface. You should always quit your RODGUI
session by clicking on this menuitem since this way you get asked
whether you want to save the current settings to default (see picture below).
Next time ROD starts it will use these settings if you start the
interface from the same directory. The file that saves the settings is
called 'rod_init.mac'. I recommend that you create a directory from
where you start RODGUI everytime. This way you make sure that you use
your 'rod_init.mac' file whenever you start RODGUI.
Note:
The PC version of RODGUI is a little bit special. The actual ROD program
is in the C:\ folder. The 'rod_init.mac' file will only be read if it's in
the same folder. That means that if you have more than one 'rod_init.mac'
files on the hard disk, ROD will read the one in the C:\ folder and only
this one.
