Input

This appears when an Input file is opened from Windows explorer or from Open existing project.

It also appears when you create an input file from the Main window menu or are using input, see Input start.

If you are using input to enter data, only some of these options will be available, others will have been fixed by the person creating the input file.

If you are creating an Input file (.qpsmrinp) then you should choose which options the input user will be able to change.
