34.5.5 Inspecting and editing values of user variables

To prompt you for the values of user variables, Mif2Go displays the Edit User Variable dialog, shown in Figure 34-4. When the dialog opens, you see the following:

• the name of the first user variable listed in [UserVars]; see §34.5.1 Assigning an initial value to a user variable

• the prompt you specified for that variable (or the default prompt); see §34.5.2 Assigning a prompt to a user variable

• the default value of the variable (as specified in [UserVars]).

>> To change the value of a variableedit the value displayed in the text box.

>> To change the variable back to its default valueclick Revert.

>> To save the value of a variableclick OK; Mif2Go stores the value in the [UserVars] section of the configuration file. If there is another variable listed in [UserVars], Mif2Go displays its name, prompt, and value; if not, the dialog is dismissed.

>> To inspect (or change) the value of a previously displayed variableclick Prev. If your pointing device is set to “Snap to default”, proceed cautiously, because each time you click Prev the pointer will snap back to the OK button.

>> To cancel the conversionclick STOP! Any values you already changed are stored in the configuration file as the new defaults.
