This program typically sets up the aplet's initial configuration. The START option on the menu is also useful for resetting the aplet. Command syntax The syntax for the command is as follows: SETVIEWS "Prompt1";"ProgramName1";ViewNumber1; "Prompt2";"ProgramName2";ViewNumber2: (You can repeat as many Prompt/ProgramName/ ViewNumber trios of arguments as you like.) Within each Prompt/ProgramName/ViewNumber trio, you separate each item with a semi-colon. Prompt Prompt is the text that is displayed for the corresponding entry in the Views menu. Enclose the prompt text in double quotes. Associating programs with your aplet If Prompt consists of a single space, then no entry appears in the view menu. The program specified in the ProgramName item is associated with the aplet and transferred whenever the aplet is transmitted. Typically, you do this if you want to transfer the Setviews program with the aplet, or you want to transfer a sub-program that other menu programs use. Auto-run programs If the Prompt item is "Start", then the ProgramName program runs whenever you start the aplet. This is useful for setting up a program to configure the aplet. Users can select the Start item from the VIEWS menu to reset the aplet if they change configurations. You can also define a menu item called "Reset" which is auto-run if the user chooses the button in the APLET view. 21-15
