Each user has an editor profile with parameters which can be set according to individual needs. The first time you invoke the editor, it uses the default values determined by your administrator.

You can modify single settings in your editor profile using appropriate commands. The new settings are valid for the remainder of the editing session or until you change them again using the appropriate commands.

To display the current settings of your editor profile

1. Issue the following main command:

   PROFILE
