## Chapter 8. Initialization File

All of FOMUS's default settings may be overridden using an initialization file that FOMUS looks for every time it loads. This file is named `.fomus` and must be created in the user's home directory. To specify default settings, simply list keyword/argument pairs as if they were keyword arguments to the `FOMUS` command.

Example 8.1. Initialization File Contents
