  The Applied Configuration dialog box contains the name
  of the configuration of compilation options that is
  currently in effect.  Clicking on the OK button in the
  main dialog box initiates a compilation governed by
  these options.

  The name of the product-supplied default configuration
  (Product_Default) appears in the Applied Configuration
  dialog box the first time DWCI is invoked (that is, a
  compilation request is issued from, for example, a
  FileView window).  For subsequent invocations, the
  established configuration that was current at the time
  of the previous compilation is used.

  You can use the Applied Configuration dialog box in the
  following ways:

   o  To change to another established configuration,
      select its name from the Configurations list box
      and click on the Apply button.

   o  To establish a new configuration of compilation
      options, modify the options associated with the
      current configuration using the Options pull-down
      menu.

      When you change a compilation option setting, the
      name of the current configuration immediately
      changes to "**unnamed**".  At this point, you have
      several options:

       -  You can delete the character string
          "**unnamed**", type the name that you want to
          assign to the new configuration, and click on
          the Add button.

          The new configuration name then appears in the
          Configurations list box (and is available for
          future use).

       -  You can use the new configuration to control a
          single compilation.

          To use a new configuration in this way, click
          on the OK button -- without typing in a name
          and clicking on the Add button.  Under these
          circumstances, the configuration is only in
          effect for a single compilation.  It is not
          retained as a permanent configuration (that is,
          its name does not appear in the Configurations
          list box).

  If you type the name of an existing configuration, the
  new configuration assumes that name, replacing the
  existing configuration.  This allows you to modify
  option settings for an established configuration.

  The equivalent <*DCL_COMMAND*> command that you would
  issue at the DCL interface level to achieve the same
  effect as the current configuration's option settings
  is shown in the subwindow at the bottom of the main
  dialog box.

  configurations to the Configurations list box for
  future use.
