Application Default Functions

This chapter describes functions that can be used to manage application defaults from within scripts. Application defaults are a set of module/name/value triples that are separate for each user work directory and application executed in that directory.

Each value belongs to some module and has a unique name within that module. These defaults are loaded when the application starts running and saved when the application does a "Save" operation. Values changed in a session maintain their values during that session. Changed values are loaded to the next session only if the user visits a "Save" point within the application.

Function value return types are illustrated in the syntax by an assignment to a variable. Standard return types are integer 0 for successful operation, and -1 for an error.
