Appendix 1: Renamed System Variables

This section is not an exhaustive list of all the system variables that existed in pre-4.500 versions. It lists only those system variables which have been renamed in 4.500. Each index entry comprises the pre-4.500 name followed by the 4.500 name. If you cannot locate a system variable in this index, it probably means that its name has remained the same in 4.500. If it has, you can locate it using the 4.500 index of system variables .
