Method. Saves the current session settings to the user preference file, a file contains the user's personal Reflection terminal session customizations and is stored on each user's computer.
The settings that can be stored depend on the options that the administrator has selected in Reflection's Set User Preference Rules dialog box (available from the Administration menu)--if no preference rules are configured, an empty user preference file is saved.
Preference files are stored on the user's computer in the reflectionweb sub folder under the user home folder. The user home varies according to operating system, browser, and virtual machine. To find the home folder for a given operating system/browser/virtual machine combination, look for USER_HOME in the Java console.
The name of the user preference file is based on the value of the applet's prefsName parameter, and if that doesn't exist, on the name attribute in the <applet> tag of the web page, with a ".pref" extension added. For example, if the name attribute for the applet is IBM3270Applet, the name of the preferences file will be IBM3270Applet.pref. Avoid naming an applet using characters that are invalid for the desktop platform's file naming convention; for example, Windows operating systems do not allow file names to contain these characters: \ / : * ? " < > |.
If the <applet> tag does not define a name attribute, a user preference file will not be saved.
To disable the loading of the user preference file, set the loadUserPrefs parameter in the <applet> tag of the Reflection web page to false.
