Argument

*EndDefaults()

MotionView, HyperView, HyperGraph, TextView, and MediaView.

Context

*BeginDefaults()

Comments

The *DefaultFileAccessFromWorkingDirectory(True/False) parameter is only run at the time of application launch.  Once a file browser is used to read/write a file, the file browser defaults to the last accessed directory until the application is closed, regardless of the *DefaultFileAccessFromWorkingDirectory(True/False) parameter setting.  The default parameter file sets *DefaultFileAccessFromWorkingDirectory() to True on UNIX and False on PC.
