These resources define various parameters not associated with a dialog or menu option, mostly having to do with the general appearance of the spreadsheet and the location of the ``help'' and license files. For example, you can define such features as the number of rows and columns to display at start-up, how formulas should be displayed on the edit line, and the color of the cell cursor.
