NAME

       pathalias - alias file for FACE

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/vmsys/pathalias

DESCRIPTION

       The  pathalias  files  contain  lines  of  the  form  alias=path where path can be one or more colon-separated directories. Whenever a FACE
       (Framed Access Command Environment, see face(1)) user references a path not beginning with a ``/'', this file is checked. If the first com-
       ponent  of the pathname matches the left-hand side of the equals sign, the right-hand side is searched much like $PATH variable in the sys-
       tem. This allows users to reference the folder $HOME/FILECABINET by typing filecabinet.

       There is a system-wide pathalias file called $VMSYS/pathalias, and each user can also have local alias  file  called  $HOME/pref/pathalias.
       Settings  in  the  user	alias  file  override settings in the system-wide file. The system-wide file is shipped with several standard FACE
       aliases, such as filecabinet, wastebasket, preferences, other_users, etc.

FILES

       $HOME/pref/pathalias

       $VMSYS/pathalias

SEE ALSO

       face(1)

NOTES

       Unlike command keywords, partial matching of a path alias is not permitted, however, path aliases are case  insensitive.  The  name  of	an
       alias  should  be alphabetic, and in no case can it contain special characters like ``/'', ``'', or ``=''. There is no particular limit on
       the number of aliases allowed. Alias files are read once, at login, and are held in core until logout. Thus, if an alias file  is  modified
       during a session, the change will not take effect until the next session.

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-
       ables are listed one per line and are of the form variable=value.

   .environ Variables
       Variables found in .environ include:

       LOGINWIN[1-4]   Windows that are opened when FACE is initialized.

       SORTMODE        Sort mode for file folder listings. Values include the following hexadecimal digits:

		       1	Sorted alphabetically by name.

		       2	Files most recently modified first.

		       800	Sorted alphabetically by object type.

		       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.

       DISPLAYMODE     Display mode for file folders. Values include the following hexadecimal digits:

		       0	File names only.

		       4	File names and brief description.

		       8	File names, description, plus additional information.

       WASTEPROMPT     Prompt before emptying wastebasket (yes/no?).

       WASTEDAYS       Number of days before emptying wastebasket.

       PRINCMD[1-3]    Print command defined to print files.

       UMASK	       Holds default permissions with which files will be created.

   .pref Variables
       Variables found in .pref are the following:

       SORTMODE        Contains the same values as the SORTMODE variable described in .environ above.

       DISPMODE        Contains the same values as the DISPLAYMODE variable described in .environ above.
