#set TITLE = "proc settings"
#include top

Allows the script programmer to make certain overall settings.
Many scripts will not need to use this proc;
it may be useful to set a default date or number display notation,
to set overall date processing behavior attributes, or to set certain
system resource attributes.
\fBproc settings\fR may be used more than once per script if desired.
The settings take effect immediately.
Many (but not all) of these settings can be also made using a
#set FILE = "config.html"
#set TAG = "config file"
#include link
, which will affect ploticus' behavior on all scripts.
.LP
Note: this proc was previously called \fBproc datesettings\fR.
It has been renamed because its functionality has been expanded.
For backward compatibility, the \fBdateformat\fR attribute
may be addressed using its old name: \fBformat\fR.
