Dialog Profile Quick Reference Card
A Dialog Profile allows you to store SET commands for automatic execution each time you log on.
SET commands allow you to modify different aspects of your search session. For a complete list of the SET commands, use the HELP SET command. A Profile is unique to the userid on which it is created.
