Personal Notes File

NOTEFILE Environment Variable

During startup, NOTEFILE will try to read the contents of the NOTEFILE environment variable if it is present. This variable can be set in the user environment or on the NOTEFILE command line and controls certain NOTEFILE features. It should contain words separated by a colon (:) or semicolon (;). The case, the order and any repetition of the words are irrelevant. Only the first 40 characters of the NOTEFILE environment variable’s contents are processed.

Currently, the following words are recognized:

NOPSCR

NOTEFILE will not load and process the PSCRIPT.TXT Pascal Script File during its initial invocation. However, it is always possible to manually run the Reload PScript command while NOTEFILE is running.

NOCMD

NOTEFILE will not load and process the NOTEFILE.CMD Command File during its initial invocation. However, it is always possible to manually run the Reload Commands List command while NOTEFILE is running.

To set the variable contents on command line you can use (on Windows):

>SET NOTEFILE=nopscr;nocmd & NOTEFILE.EXE myfile.ntf

or (on Linux):

$ NOTEFILE=nopscr:nocmd ./notefile myfile.ntf
