During an EnSight session, all actions are recorded and saved to a file
known as the default command file. This file name typically starts with "ensight_
" and is saved in /usr/tmp
on UNIX systems or
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\temp on
Windows systems (unless you have redefined your TMPDIR
environment variable). The default command file can
be saved (and renamed) when exiting EnSight.
