NAME
environ, pref, variables - user-preference variables files for AT&T FACE
SYNOPSIS
$HOME/pref/.environ
$HOME/pref/.variables
$HOME/FILECABINET/.pref
$HOME/WASTEBASKET/.pref
DESCRIPTION
The .environ, .pref, and .variables files contain variables that indicate user preferences for a variety of operations. The .environ and
.variables files are located under the user's $HOME/pref directory. The .pref files are found under $HOME/FILECABINET, $HOME/WASTEBASKET,
and any directory where preferences were set via the organize command. Names and descriptions for each variable are presented below. Vari-

The values above may be listed in reverse order by ORing the following value:
1000 List objects in reverse order. For example, a value of 1002 will produce a folder listing with files LEAST
recently modified displayed first. A value of 1001 would produce a "reverse" alphabetical by name listing of the
folder.
