To facilitate the tailoring of the EASI execution environment, it is possible to read a set of EASI commands from a startup file each time EASI starts.
On UNIX platforms, the startup file is named ".easirc" and may appear in the local directory or the users home directory (as determined from the HOME environment variable). On Windows systems, the file is named EASIRC.EAS and may be in the local directory or at the top directory of the current disk.
The startup file is run as if it where a normal procedure and may hold any commands that could be placed in a procedure. Typically, the startup file is used to establish aliases, but it can also be used for a number of other purposes.
The startup file is invoked before the initial prompt appears.
