SHORT MACHINE TYPE=“name”

Specifies which overlay files to use with the specific machine type of your client workstations.

This parameter is similar to LONG MACHINE TYPE, except that it is used specifically with overlay files. Use it when the %SMACHINE variable is accessed.

Examples of files using this parameter and value include the

IBM$RUN.OVL file for the windowing utilities and the CMPQ$RUN.OVL file that uses a default black-and-white color palette for NetWare menus.
