There is no > "end" key in the DMKEYS file. There are a large number (a slew) of X RESOURCE variables that allow you to control many UI aspects of SAS in Unix. Look in your help file for Unix companion, or online at http://support.sas.com/91doc/docMainpage.jsp Contents/Base/Operating Environment/Companion UNIX/Running SAS/Customizing Happy tweaking! -- Richard A.

From: Bill Howells on 1 May 2007 16:06 couple more weird things . . . I found Resource Helper to define the "end" key to go to the end of a field (as an "X resource"), but it saved the resources in a file called "SAS" in the common account dir, so I believe I just defined them for everyone else. whoops. my key definitions in DMKEYS are saved. but . . . changes to program editor such as AUTOSPLIT=ON are not saved with a new session. The SAS companion for UNIX doc is very good so will have to read that thoroughly to figure out what mess I have made. Ron, I double checked and I did name my personal autoexec with *.sas, just mistyped in the post, thanks. Bill H, Wash U, St Louis

They get saved automatically when the KEYS window is ENDed (F3).

Aspects of various need to be WSAVEd. Did you do a WSAVE (or WSAVE ALL)? wsaving creates WSAVE entries in SASUSER.PROFILE. Is "automatically save preferences" checked in options ? FWIW, Nedit.org is a pretty sweet editor for UNIX. Looking forward to your questions about printing :) -- Richard A. DeVenezia http://www.devenezia.com/

No kidding on the printing. Fortunately, ods rtf works under UNIX, just downloaded rtf file and printed in Word. I'm a chicken. :) I do need to actually get some work done and stop fiddling with the setup. Thanks again for the help! Bill H. |
