SETSYSTEMVAL - solved

[Pickering, John (NORBORD)]

"logicals" ?? Yikes - must be a Compaq :-)

My experience shows that if Quick is run pointing at (least offensive non-OS
specific substitute term for "logicals", "file equates", "links", etc.) a
qkgo it will use all of the contents of the qkgo. If run pointing at a qkc
(i.e. compiled Quick screen) file it will use default values for those qkgo
parameters which are not in the screen.

My choice is to run Quick pointing at a real qkgo file and a generic first
screen and the to use some feature of the OS to point the generic first
screen name in the qkgo to a real qkc.
