Can anyone tell me where in the NeXT documents I can find information about WriteNow defaults and how to set them? Specifically, I want to have the ruler visible by default. I have used Dig* Lib* with NeXTmanuals, NeXTanswers and UnixManuals as targets, with WriteNow as "search-string" and with "ruler" in a find panel and have had zero results. Thanks, cnh5730@maraba.tamu.edu (Chuck Herrick)

check out "Changing the Initial Document Format" in the (hardcopy)
User's Reference manual. basically, if you save an arbitrary
wn file as 'Stationery.wn' in your home directory (or the WriteNow
file package), that will be used to initialize new documents. so:
new
show rulers
save as Stationery.wn
and from now on new files should have the ruler visible.
(of course, you can use this to do a lot of other stuff -- default headers,
initial boilerplate, etc.)
