2. Set the options on each tab.
3. Click OK.

Robot can assist you in assigning names to scripts with its script autonaming feature.
Autonaming inserts your specified characters into the Name box of a new script and
appends a consecutive number to the prefix.

This is a useful feature if you are recording a series of related scripts and want to
identify their relationship through the prefix in their names. For example, if you are
testing the menus in a Visual Basic application, you might want to have every script
name start with VBMenu.

To turn on script autonaming:
1. Open the GUI Record Options dialog box. (See Setting GUI Recording Options

on page 2-5.)

2. In the General tab, type a prefix in the Prefix box.

Clear the box if you do not want a prefix. If the box is cleared, you need to type
a name each time you record a new script.

3. Click OK or change other options.
