            Title:    The Startup Script
            Date:     January 16, 1991
             
             
            Two special Wingz script files, WZScript and DG, contain the 
            Hyperscript  commands  that  create the  default  menus  and 
            dialog boxes used by Wingz. 
             
            These  script files are executed automatically when Wingz is 
            launched.   To  conserve  disk space,  WZScript and  DG  are 
            compiled  without  the source Hyperscript text.   The  files 
            containing  the  source Hyperscript text,  WZScript.scp  and 
            DG.scp,  are also included with Wingz.  The WZScript.scp and 
            DG.scp  text  files can be loaded into the Script Editor  by 
            selecting  Open  Script in the Script menu and clicking  the 
            All  Documents  radio button.   Both of these files  contain 
            excellent   examples  of  menu  and  dialog  box   commands.  
            WZScript.scp  and  DG.scp may be modified and recompiled  to 
            customize  Wingz.    It  is  recommended,  however,  that  a 
            "startup" script to customize the Wingz environment be used, 
            rather than modifying these scripts.   Modifications made in 
            the  WZScript  and  DG files cannot be  supported  by  Wingz 
            Technical Support.
             
            A  startup script is another specialized Wingz script  file.  
            A  startup  script is automatically executed when  Wingz  is 
            launched.   The  Startup  script needs to be located in  the 
            same directory,  or folder as the Wingz application,  unless 
            Wingz is being used through a network drive or a pathed Unix 
            directory.   In  that  case,  the Startup script  should  be 
            located in your local directory.
             
            A  startup script may be created by selecting New Script  in 
            the Script menu, adding the Hyperscript commands, and saving 
            the  file  as "Startup"  with the Save command in  the  File 
            menu.    The  Startup script may be used to set many default 
            settings for Wingz.  
             
            For example, the following lines of Hyperscript will set the 
            default font, font size, and numeric format for data entered 
            in any new worksheet:
             
             
                 text font "Helvetica"
                 text size 12
                 format General
             
             
            In most versions of Wingz,  a sample Startup script has been 
            provided.   For the following versions,  the normal location 
            and extension for the sample Startup script is:
             
                 Apollo         /Wingz/Examples
                 D E C               /usr/lib/Wingz/Examples
                 D G            /usr/opt/Wingz/Examples
                 HP             /Wingz/Examples
                 IBM RISC       /usr/lpp/Wingz/Examples
                 Macintosh      Examples folder
                 MIPS      /usr/Wingz/Examples
                 Motorola       /usr/Wingz/Examples
                 Next           Examples folder
                 OS/2           Wingz\Examples
                 SCO            /usr/Wingz/Examples
                 SGI            /usr/Wingz/Examples
                 Windows        Wingz\Examples
             
            If  you  do  not already have a  Startup  script,  copy  the 
            example  Startup script to the same folder,  or directory as 
            the  Wingz  application.   This  Startup  script  adds  four 
            menuitems  to the Sheet menu when Wingz is launched.   These 
            menuitems are "Set Cell Size...", "Delete Block...", "Insert 
            Block...",   and  "Text/Value  Conversion...".   Information 
            explaining the functions and operation of these menuitems is 
            found in the Cellsize,  Delete, Insert,  and Textval scripts 
            that  accompany  the example Startup script in the  Examples 
            folder,  or  directory.   Open  these scripts by using  Open 
            Script  in  the  Script menu.   These scripts  provide  many 
            useful  Hyperscript  examples of using menuitems and  dialog 
            boxes.
             
            If  you are already using a Startup script,  and wish to add 
            the  example menuitems to the Wingz menus,  simply copy  and 
            paste the Hyperscript commands listed in the example Startup 
            script  into your existing Startup script.
             
            The  Startup  script  may  help  you  adapt  Wingz  to  your 
            particular preferences and requirements, and will provide an 
            introduction to the flexibility and power of Hyperscript.
