Chapter 2. Using <strong>Prism</strong> 11<br />
Chapter 2. si n m-<br />
* The -font, -title, and -rv options have no effect.<br />
* The -bg option is overridden in part by the setting of the <strong>Prism</strong>.textBg-<br />
Color resource, which specifies the background color for text in <strong>Prism</strong>;<br />
see Section 9.4.5.<br />
X toolkit options are meaningless, of course, if you use -c to run <strong>Prism</strong> in commands-only<br />
mode.<br />
Specifying Input and Output Files<br />
You can use the form<br />
% prism < input-file<br />
to specify a file from which <strong>Prism</strong> is to read and execute commands upon<br />
start-up. Similarly, use the form<br />
% prism > logfile<br />
to specify a file to which <strong>Prism</strong> commands and their output are to be logged.<br />
If you have created a .prisminit initialization file, <strong>Prism</strong> automatically<br />
executes the commands in the file when it starts up. See Section 9.5 for information<br />
on .prisminit.<br />
2.3 Within <strong>Prism</strong><br />
Within the <strong>Prism</strong> environment, you can perform most actions in one of three<br />
ways:<br />
* by using a mouse; see Section 2.3.1<br />
* by using keyboard alternatives to the mouse; see Section 2.3.2<br />
* by issuing commands from the keyboard; see Section 2.3.3<br />
