                            Default files
                            -------------

The way default files are used has slightly been changed. First, the
directory for the "global" hermes.def has been changed from $HOME
(the login directory) to $HOME/.gipsy

This directory now also can contain task-specific default files
as well as a default file with keywords for all tasks: tasks.def.
The latter file can be especially useful for specifying the GGIOPT=
keyword used in tasks with a graphical user interface.

If you already have a hermes.def in your login directory, you can
execute the following steps to bring it to its new place:

   cd
   mkdir .gipsy
   mv hermes.def .gipsy/
