Document Type Command Files
Before Arbortext Editor opens a document, it loads any associated document type command files.
The doctype.acl file stores ACL code used to define the application. The doctype.js file stores JavaScript code to define the application.
* 
If you have both a doctype.acl file and a doctype.js file, Arbortext Editor will read doctype.acl before it reads doctype.js.
For example, in your doctype.acl file you might want to add a document type-specific directory to the graphicspath option using append_graphics_path in the doctype.acl file.
If you open another document of the same document type, Arbortext Editor will not reload the doctype.acl or doctype.js files.
Save the doctype.acl and doctype.js files in your doctypes directory.
