Apple IIe Card - Manual (Page 90)

The IIe Prefs file created by the IIe Startup program keeps track of the
settings you make in the Apple IIe Option Panel. You choose settings to
match the requirements of the Apple IIe programs you run. Normally,
one configuration of card and slot settings is sufficient for performing
your work. However, if you use two or more programs that require
different slot configurations, you can create a separate preferences file for
each program. Each preferences file can maintain the configuration of
card and slot settings appropriate for a single program, so you won’t have
to change settings each time you move from one program to another.
Follow these steps to create and maintain more than one preferences file:
1. Start up the IIe Startup program.
Double-click the IIe Startup icon.
2. Open the Apple IIe Option Panel (by pressing Control-
x-Esc).
3. Select the settings you want to maintain in the first
IIe Prefs file.
4. Quit the IIe Startup program (by clicking the Quit IIe button).
5. Rename the first IIe Prefs file.
The name you give the file can be anything but “IIe Prefs.” Rename
the file in a way that will help you remember its purpose—“Graphics
Prefs,” “Charts Prefs,” or “Games Prefs,” for instance.
6. Start up the IIe Startup program and open the Option
Panel again.
7. Select the settings you want to maintain in the second
IIe Prefs file.
8. Quit the IIe Startup program (by clicking the Quit IIe button).
