Settings modified with the editor profile facility are valid for each new Natural session or until you change them again. These settings can be overridden for the duration of the current session by using the editor commands described in Modifying Profile Settings for Temporary Use.

To modify your editor profile settings for permanent use

• In the command line of the program editor, enter the following:

  The Main Menu of the program editor profile facility appears with the following options:

  Save	Saves the current profile.
  Modify	Invokes input screens for modifying the default settings for PA/PF keys and editor commands: see Modifying Editor Default Settings.
  Read	Reads the editor profile of another user which you specify in the Profile Name field. The settings from the external profile can then be saved under your profile name.
