Thanks Mike. I'll read that section. Patti From: Mike Byerley <[email protected]> To: RBASE-L Mailing List <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 22, 2011 9:55 AM Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: setting timeout
It is a file you create on your own. Historically, it ended with .DAT, but it can be any text file that contains RBase code. In RBase Help, Index tab, enter "desktop" for an explanation of the command line switches that will tell your session of RBase Where and What File to execute on Startup. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Patti Jakusz" <[email protected]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, August 22, 2011 9:27 AM Subject: [RBASE-L] - RE: setting timeout Hi Jim, I haven't thought about the DAT file since we switched to Windows. I can't even find it. Do you have any idea where it would be located. I can't see it in the RBTI directories, the data directory or the user's directory.

I see that it must be set at each workstation, using the R> prompt, so I guess I can't put it in the Application as "On Start Action." But how do you save it? To test it, I set it to 3 minutes. After Rbase closed, I looked at the setting and it was back at zero. Thanks, Patti Jakusz
