\section{Changing Your Preferences

}
Changing your preferences is as simple as editing and saving your preferences. 
 To do this, type


\typewriter{\leftindent{ez preferences}}


in your Typescript window and press Enter.  


When the EZ window appears with your preferences file in it, you can type in 
the new line you want to add, or change the value of an existing preference. 
 For example, add the following line to your preferences file:


ez.bodyfont: AndySans10


Save the file and quit the EZ window you are running.  Now, start EZ again by 
typing


\typewriter{\leftindent{ez preferences}}


You should notice that the letters in the EZ window are different from what 
they were before.  To change them back, you can either remove the preference 
entirely, or simply put a # mark in front of it, like


# ez.bodyfont: AndySans10


The # mark tells EZ not to read that preference.  You can also use # marks to 
add reminders to yourself about what preferences are for, as in:


# I added this just for the preferences tutorial

ez.bodyfont: AndySans10


You can now experiment will lots of different preferences listed in the 
 \italic{preferences } help file.  Once you have edited and saved your 
preferences file, any new processes you call up, such as EZ, will use the new 
preferences that are relevant to them.  Thus, it is possible to have several 
EZ windows with different type fonts.
