Customizable user interface

You can customize the Data Set Commander user interface to fit your needs. For example, you can hide the Action Bar to gain two more lines to display information. You can also hide the Hotbar line to gain another line. On Data Set Commander panels, you can choose leader dots or arrows as the standard prefix for input fields. You can select the leading character in the Member Selection List line command area, along with other interface options.

To use the SET command from any command line (except when you are in OLIST or MSL), enter DSC SET, shortcut ISET. In OLIST or MSL, enter SET. The SETTING DSC DEFAULTS panel is displayed.

Options you set via the SET commands are remembered across sessions. When you invoke the SET command the following panel is displayed:
