This tab of the Options dialog allows setting values relevant to the progamming environment.
The Reader field Base: the base in which numbers are read. Corresponds
to the global variable *read-base*.
Case: the mode in which the reader reads characters of symbols. The Common Lisp standard is Case-Insensitive-Upper (symbol names are stored in upper case and unescaped lower-case letters are converted to uppercase).
Ignore Package Name Case: in a case-sensitive Lisp, ignore case changes in package names. Has no effect in a case-insensitive Lisp.
The Notify field On Exit: if checked, a dialog is displayed when you call for Lisp to exit by clicking the close button on the Project Window or the Debug Window or clicking File | Exit (but not by calling exit programmatically) asking you to confirm that you want to exit.
Break on Signals: corresponds to the value of *break-on-signals*. If checked, execution is interrupted whenever a condition is signaled. If unchecked, execution is interrupted only on an error.
The Printer field: Each box except Address corresponds to the global variable *print-[box label]*. Thus, the Circle box corresponds to the global *print-circle*. Most printer variables can be true (box checked) or nil (box unchecked). Length and Level can be nil (print any length to any depth) or a number (print this number of elements and indicate others with suspension points or print to this depth and indicate more levels with a #). Case can be Upcase, Downcase, or Capitalize. Base is the numerical base in which integers (but not floating point numbers) are printed. Address: if checked, the printed representation of IDE and CG objects contains the object memory address. See print-address.
