DEFAULT OPTIONS
OPTION BASE is used to set the default lower bound for each dimension of
an array.
The current setting of the default is OPTION BASE 0
Do you want to change it to OPTION BASE 1?(N)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPTION DECIMAL or OPTION REAL sets the default data type for variables
that are not explicitly declared and functions that do not declare a
return type. The option also determines the data type of intermediate
values used during arithmetic expression evaluation.
The current setting of the default is OPTION REAL
Do you want to change it to OPTION DECIMAL?(N) y
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPTION INIT specifies that numeric variables are to be initialized
with zeroes.
The current setting of the default is OPTION INIT
Do you want to change it to OPTION NO INIT?(N)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPTION DECLARE disallows use of variables that are not explicitly declared.
The current setting of the default is OPTION NO DECLARE
Do you want to change it to OPTION DECLARE?(N) y
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
OPTION TRACE enables the Business BASIC interpreter to check for and
perform any tracing following execution of each program line.
The current setting of the default is OPTION TRACE
Do you want to change it to OPTION NOTRACE?(N)

NATIVE LANGUAGE SUPPORT
Configure the underlying native language number that is used to determine
which message catalog to open, the collating sequence used in the SORT
statement and the default collating sequence for the LEX function.
Installed native languages:
0 - NATIVE-3000 5 - ENGLISH 10 - NORWEGIAN

Configure the default parameter (representing a native language number) for
the DATE$ built-in function.

PRINTER SPECIFICATION
The SEND OUTPUT, SEND SYSTEM OUTPUT and COPY ALL OUTPUT statements accept
the keyword PRINTER as a destination file. The definition of the keyword
is looked up in the configuration file.

==============================================================================
INTERPRETER DATA SPACE
The space that the Business BASIC/V Interpreter reserves for user data
is configurable. The valid range of values is from 1000 to 15000 words.
The current setting of the data space limit is 12000 words
Enter new value if desired:
==============================================================================
TERMINAL CAPABILITIES
Several Business BASIC statements and functions depend on the capabilities
of the terminal used. Whether the terminal used by the BASIC program for
input and/or output is expected to be compatible with the BASIC features
is configurable.
The current setting DOES specify a BASIC-compatible terminal.
Do you want to change it?(N)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Upon entering the BASIC interpreter, the definitions of any user-defined
keys defined on entry can be automatically saved. The definition that
the keys had on entry are subsequently restored just prior to exit.
The current setting specifies user keys WILL NOT be saved and restored.

The value of the configurable features are reset to those in the
configuration file whenever one of the following occurs:
* The HP Business BASIC/XL interpreter runs.
* An HP Business BASIC/XL program compiles.
* A compiled HP Business BASIC/XL program runs.
* A SCRATCH ALL command executes.
* A SCRATCH PROG command executes.
If HP Business BASIC/XL cannot access the configuration file, the
feature's values are set to those supplied when HP Business BASIC/XL is
first installed.
