Preferences

The Preferences dialogue box allows you to modify the Simulator parameters. It can be found in the ON popup menu: AltO "Preferences…".

Press "OK" or "Apply" to activate the new settings for the current session. The settings are not saved on the hard disk and will not become permanent until you save the current session. If you have unchecked "Save on exit" (see below), you must save the current session manually by pressing CtrlM.

Help File Browser

This setting allows you to specify the browser used to display the Online Help.

When the Simulator is started for the first time, or if no browser is set, the Simulator checks for available browsers in all directories specified by the PATH environment variable. If available, the operating system's default method for opening a web page is added to the top of the list of browsers. This results in the following list of possible browsers per operating system:

Platform Browser list
UNIX/Linux firefox chrome mozilla opera konquerer
macOS open firefox safari chrome opera
Windows start firefox safari chrome mozilla opera iexplore hh

Remarks:

All the browsers found are listed, and the first one in the list is set as the Help file browser. You can select another browser from the list or use the "Browse…" button to find another one.
