load order?

load order?

[Adam Lindsay]

Hi.
Who's familiar with initialisation file loading order?

I define some generic formatting options in cont-loc (because it's loaded
by default, it doesn't get overwritten, and I use it on several
machines). I successfully use them by adding a command at the start of
tex source files.

I'd like them to be choose-able for any file from the command line with
(I presume) a mode.
I've tried this in cont-loc and cont-sys, but it doesn't have an effect.  

\doifmode {atl} {\LocalSetup[interaction,sansheadings]}

Where should I put it?
Is it maybe a grouping issue?

normally, in your cont-sys.tex, or, in cont-sys.tex load a file with your 
local preferences

an alternative is:

   \prependtoks \readfile{myfile}{}{} \to \everystarttext

in cont-sys.tex and put your settings in myfile

Thanks. The \doifmode as one of the tokens to prepend seems to work!
