12.7 REDUCE Startup File

At the start of a REDUCE session, the system checks for the existence of a user’s startup file, and executes the REDUCE statements in it. This is equivalent to inputting the file with the in command.

To find the directory/folder where the file resides, the system checks the existence of the following environment variables:

1.

HOME,

2.

HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH together (Windows).

If none of these are set, the current directory is used. The file itself must be named either .reducerc or reduce.rc¹ .
