  Adding a Bookshelf to the Default Display (Tru64 UNIX)

  You can add a local bookshelf to the default display as follows:

  1.   Name your bookshelf file  library.decw_bookshelf  , which
      is the default name.

  2.   Define the DECW_BOOK environment variable to in-
      clude the directory that contains the local bookshelf.  For
      example, on a system that already has DECW_BOOK
      defined, to add /usr/mydir  to the default display, define
      DECW_BOOK as follows:

      %  setenv  DECW_BOOK  "`echo  $DECW_BOOK`  /usr/mydir"
      This definition lets you access all the books you usually
      read in addition to the books you add to the new bookshelf
      file.

      For more information about defining DECW_BOOK. see
      the section Modifying the Library Window Display
      (Tru64 UNIX)    .

  3.   Start Bookreader from the command line:

      %  dxbook

  Bookreader opens the first bookshelf it encounters.  Therefore,
  you can display the books and bookshelves within your book-
  shelf file at startup time by placing your directory at the
  beginning of the DECW_BOOK search list.  For example:

  %  setenv  DECW_BOOK  "/usr/mydir  `echo  $DECW_BOOK`"
