4TeX 4PAR files
For each "Main TeX file you create, 4TeX keeps records a few useful settings,
so that each time you use that TeX file these settings are restored.
The advantage of this approach is that you don't have to remember the
format you used, the spell-check language, the previewer, the printer, etc.
This is done by writing a 4PAR file. Suppose your main TeX file is
c:\texfiles\myfile.tex, then 4TeX will record the settings in
the file (c:\texfiles\4texdoc.4PAR):
This file is used by 4TeX, do not delete/change it!
