Variable list for options settings

Nathan_Tigner — Wed, 03 Apr 2024 13:00:02 GMT

Hello All,

I am writing a lisp to change many of the paths in options>files

I have figured out the search paths, printer support file path, and template settings.

What I'm actually wondering is, where can I find a list of all the variables use in the options dialog?

For instance, I can set the Printer Support File Paths using "PrinterStyleSheetDir" and I can change the default template file name for qnew with "QnewTemplate".

I was looking for a list of all those variables to make life easier but I can't seem to find them.

I can even find any documentation on the "QnewTemplate" variable, I just happened to stumble accross it in another post.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.
