Supplying Values for Box and Application Attributes
When you supply a value for an application or box attribute,
ENABLE stores the value in an internal table called the attribute
table. To ensure that an object is adequately described, ENABLE
stores the following in the attribute table:
• The starting value of each attribute--a value that an
attribute has when you start ENABLE
• The current value (if any) of an attribute--a value that you
supply with a SET command
When you supply a current value for an attribute, the current
value remains in the attribute table until you supply a new
current value (with another SET command), remove the current
value (with a RESET command), or exit from ENABLE.
• The override value (if any) of an attribute--a value that you
supply with an ADD command
When you supply an override value that value only applies to
the object being named and added with the ADD command.
