Autoload
There are 5 different files you can "autoload" at startup, specified in the Preferences dialog, in the "Initial File Display" section.
The first choice is "RCDAUTO.TXT if present, else show Built-in Fingerings (Alternates)"
If this option is selected, Recorder Digits will automatically load at startup the following file, if it finds it in the same subdirectory as the RCDIGITS.EXE executable: RCDAUTO.TXT. If it does not find the file, it just shows its built-in Altenate Fingerings.
This enables you to have any external file come up when RD starts, even ones that aren't supplied with the prgram (the Preferences selections below it). Just rename (or copy) any external file you like to RCDAUTO.TXT and put it into the same subdir as the RCDIGITS.EXE executable.
The other Initial File Display choices on the Preferences dialog, to load Supplied file - NORMTRIL.TXT, etc. are pretty much self-explanatory.
When any of these files is autoloaded, no RCDLOG.TXT file is produced (see Loading Errors), even if errors are detected (it is assumed that you have already gotten rid of any errors before making an external file into your autoload file). This allows you to use the file, for example, on a CD.
If you do get errors on an autoload and you want to diagnose them, you can manually load (File->Load External) the file and a log file will be produced.
Note that any of these files are loaded after the file that contains Preferences settings.
