You can at any stage generate you own variables and place them as required through your application object configuration, for example you have generated a Microsoft Word installation application and customized it by creating a macro call AUTO_STORE with a value of C:\TEMP\OFFICE\ . Next change the DEFAULT SAVE registry key value to the macro AUTO_STORE

For more info on those variables, open the APPSNAP.HLP file (located in SYS:PUBLIC\SNAPSHOT\NLS\ENGLISH) and look into the index for the"Special Windows Macros" topic.

For more information on NDS Attribute Macros, inside an Application object hit F1 for help and search for "NDS Attribute Macros", which gives examples of using these with application objects. To test these create a simple application object with an .ini file that has the attributes in it that you want to test..
