Almost all users enjoy configuring their systems to their own tastes, whether it's setting the background bitmap or choosing a default font. Most applications will, therefore, want to provide a way for the user to choose and save various options for the application.

Generic objects have this capability built in. If you set them up for saving options, they will automatically set and maintain the saved options, making sure the options are set properly whenever the application is launched. However, sometimes you will want to set additional options not managed by UI objects. This is not difficult to do in GEOS: You can have your application save its options directly to the local initialization file, GEOS.INI.
