prefsstartup

    This panel controls which directories are searched for Infocom games when
    Frotz is started from the Workbench. The cycle gadget at the top of the
    panel determines whether what is displayed below relates to the directories
    to be searched or those to be excluded.

    Search Directories

    At startup, these directories and any sub-directories they contain are
    searched for games which Frotz recognises (see the games panel for adding
    games to those which Frotz recognises). The directories are searched in the
    order they are shown in the list view gadget. To change the order, click
    and hold down the mouse button over an entry in the list view, and drag it
    to where it should go (a dashed line will appear in the list view to
    indicate where the entry will be dropped).

    Exclude Directories

    When Frotz is searching directories, there may be certain sub-directories
    which Frotz does not need to enter (for example, those containing sound
    data files). If the name of a directory Frotz is about to search appears
    in this list, it will not be searched. Note that the entries should be full
    path names, e.g.

    		Work:Games/Infocom/Sound
    and not		DH1:Games/Infocom/Sound

    New entries can be added to either the search or the exclude lists, either
    by entering the directory name in the string gadget beneath the list view,
    or by clicking on the Get Path gadget immediately to the right of the
    string gadget. This opens a directory requester from which a directory can
    be selected. Entries can be deleted from either list by selecting the entry
    then clicking on the Del gadget.
