Creating a Resource File (OpenVMS)
  Follow these steps to use resources to change Bookreader
  settings:

  1. Locate the directory where the logical name DECW$USER_
        DEFAULTS points to. Enter the following command:
        $ SHOW LOGICAL DECW$USER_DEFAULTS
  2. Set default to the directory that DECW$USER_
        DEFAULTS points to. For example:
        $ SHOW LOGICAL DECW$USER_DEFAULTS
        "DECW$USER_DEFAULTS" = "SYS$LOGIN:" (DECW$LOGICAL_NAMES)
        1 "SYS$LOGIN" = "DISK1:[USER]" (LNM$JOB_80D26620)
        $ SET DEFAULT SYS$LOGIN
  3. Find out if a DECW$XDEFAULTS.DAT file already
        exists by entering the following command:
        $ DIR DECW$XDEFAULTS.DAT
  4. If DECW$XDEFAULTS.DAT does not exist, create a file
        with that name.
  5. Copy the file containing the default Bookreader resources
        into your SYS$LOGIN directory using the following
        commands:
        $ SET DEFAULT SYS$LOGIN
        $ COPY DECW$SYSTEM_DEFAULTS:DECW$BOOKREADER.DAT *.*
  6. Edit your copy of DECW$BOOKREADER.DAT. Delete all
        resources you do not want to change, then specify new
        values for the resources you want to customize.

        Each specification in the resource file follows explicit
        syntax rules. For more information about the re-
        source syntax, see Specifying Bookreader Resource
        Settings .
  7. Exit from DECW$BOOKREADER.DAT, saving your
        changes. The next time you invoke Bookreader, it will
        first read the default values from the DECW$BOOKREADER.DAT
        file in DECW$SYSTEM_DEFAULTS. Then it will
        modify the defaults using the values you specify in
        SYS$LOGIN:DECW$BOOKREADER.DAT.
