    All of <application>FOMUS</application>'s default settings may be overridden using an initialization file that <application>FOMUS</application> looks for
    every time it loads.
    This file is named <filename>.fomus</filename> 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
    <function><link linkend="function.fomus">FOMUS</link></function> command.
