# current mode

Dviout can save the Parameters in the Registry on the hard disk. You can have 10 sets of the parameter values in 10 separated locations. Each stored location is labeled as mode0,..., mode9.
The current mode is a mode to which the current dviout session is referring. The actions such as [Save] or [Restore] in the property sheets applies to this mode.
You can find the current mode number on the [CONTENTS] and the [REGISTRY] sheet in the property sheets. You can change the mode on the [REGISTRY] sheet. (The current parameters are not changed.)
If you select a new mode for the current mode by "Option->Mode..." in the Menu Bar, dviout will read the values of the parameters defined by [Auto Load] for that mode. The current mode can be also changed by DDE communication.
You can specify the mode at start-up on the [REGISTRY] sheet (mode0 is default). Dviout refers its parameter values automatically. This becomes the current mode at start-up. You can also use a command parameter -mode: to specify the current mode at start-up.
