#### 4.9.2 AutoPrefs

Syntax: `AutoPrefs [0|1]`
Abbreviation: `AP`

sets the automatic preferences flag. If this flag is true, each time an `Open` command is executed and a file is loaded, `ne` will look for an automatic preferences file in your `~/.ne` directory. The preferences file name is given by the extension of the file loaded, postfixed with ‘`#ap`’. Thus, for instance, C sources have an associated `c#ap` file. See Automatic Preferences.

If you invoke `AutoPrefs` with no arguments, it will toggle the flag. If you specify 0 or 1, the flag will be set to false or true, respectively. A lower case ‘`p`’ will appear on the status bar if the flag is true.
