The SetStartup and SetRuntime Commands

The SetStartup and SetRuntime commands are both used to configure the user interface for the processing of a particular file.  But, EMUE does not process SetStartup and SetRuntime commands in the same manner.

EMUE processes the SetStartup commands when the script file is loaded.  This is done to set up the environment before the script is processed.  The SetStartup commands are ignored during the processing of the script file and are only processed again when the user clicks the option on the Tools menu to Reload Settings - Defaults & File or closes and reopens the script.

Also, SetStartup command parameters must always be literal strings, and should always be enclosed in double-quotes.

SetRuntime commands are processed like all other EMUEScript commands and this provides the capability of changing a subset of the user interface options while the script is being processed.  For a list of options that can be changed by SetRuntime, see the SetRuntime command under this heading.

The SetRuntime command allows parameters that are either literal strings (enclosed in double-quotes) or variables containing literal strings.

Note: See the Option Window Screen page for user interface information regarding SetStartup and SetRuntime options
