Preferences... [top]

This command opens a dialog that allows the user to set certain preferences for documents. In addition there is an option that affects the status bar, the line of information at the bottom of the main OpenBUGS window. By default (option Simple) this line just shows error messages, but it can be hidden (option No) or made to show how much memory OpenBUGS is using (option Double). Ticking the thick caret box can make the caret easier to see.
