change which windows I get at login?

   

By default, you get the `Help!' window, the `Simon Says...' window, and your user object when you log in. We recommend that you alter this only after becoming very familiar with the system.

When you want to change which windows you get (the `login profile'), expand your user object using the `login profile' GPD (see section 2.26). That should bring up a window similar to figure 3.4.

Click on one of the GPD names (e.g. `text' or `user') and create a new item ( meta-l meta-i). This will give you figure 3.4.

Change `gpdname' to the name of the GPD to be used in expansion and link in the object that you wish to expand where <<links>> is. You will then get a window with that object when you log in. The completed login profile will look like 3.5.

If, instead, you wish to add another window but using a GPD already in the list (`text' or `user' in this case), you can simply link in the new object after one in the list. For example, if you wish to open the document in `text' view rather than `document overview', it would have looked like figure 3.6.
