Setting Environment Variables in vslick.ini

Place configuration environment settings in the file vslick.ini. This file is located in the following de- fault directory based on your platform (if it does not exist, it can be created manually):

•Windows: .../My Documents/My SlickEdit Core Config/Editor_Version/

•Linux: $HOME/.secore/editor_version/

Below is text from a sample vslick.ini file with an environment section, where vslick is the path to the root of the core SlickEdit plug-in: /eclipse/plugins/com.slickedit.core_VERSION

[Environment]

VSLICKPATH=c:\vslick\win;c:\vslick\macros;c:\vslick\bitmaps;c:\vmacros

VSLICKALIAS=c:\vmacros\alias.slk

VSLICKINCLUDE=c:\vslick\macros;c:\vmacros VSLICKLOAD=a: +l b: +l

VSLICKSAVE=a: +o b: +o MYPROJECTVERSION=c:\myprog4.2

When the editor starts, the following environment variables are created by the editor:

•VSDRIVE - Drive letter followed by a colon (:) where editor executable resides.

•VSDIR - Directory of editor executable with a trailing backslash (UNIX: slash).

Environment variables can be embedded in any line within a section by placing % characters around the environment variable.

Using the set Command

Change or view the environment while running through the set command. The operation of the built-in set command is almost identical to the DOS SET command. Use the set command to temporarily change one of the configuration environment variables or any other environment variable. For a complete listing
