The Initialization File

When Sd or Sdtty starts, it looks for a file `sd.ini' in the working directory. This file, if present, contains information about dances you might be working on, and about possible individual preferences you might have for the way the program runs. Such a file might look like this:

[Options]
reverse_video
no_warnings
singlespace

[Sessions]

There are up to three sections in this file, called the "sessions" section, the "options" section, and the "accelerators" section. Each section starts with a header word in brackets. The sections are separated from each other by blank lines.

• Session Control: Session Control
• Option Control: Option Control
• Accelerator Key Control: Accelerator Key Control
• Sample Initialization Files: Sample Initialization Files
