Using Shared Customization Files To create a file view that contains every built-in definition and the features you customized, FileView reads and merges the contents of the customization files to create your FileView environment. First, FileView reads the system customization file. The system customization file, which is shipped with OpenVMS DECwindows, contains definitions that produce the menu bar, menu items, and saved views. Next, FileView reads the public customization files, if they exist. The public customization file contains any definitions that you share with other users. Finally, FileView reads your private customization file, which contains your personal FileView definitions.
