Startup customization - user/site

Description
The variables in this group are used to determine which Glishfiles are loaded at startup. This is determined by the variables system.packages and user.initfiles

Example

system.packages: aips synthesis
user.initfiles: myfile.g

Note that packages do not end in .g, but initfiles do.

If no system.packages are specified, the aips package is assumed. Note that many sites may want to customize which packages are loaded (for example, the NFRA site manager may want to add the nfra package), and some users may want to customize the list.

Note that the user.initfiles are loaded after the standard package .g files. If for some reason you want to execute Glishcode before the standard files, you can put that code in your .glishrc file.
