The initialization variables are listed in a table as they appear in the Toxik initialization file. The table is available from the Help menu via the The Menu Bar. If you specify the command line argument, the argument takes priority over the environment variable and the initialization variable. If you specify the environment variable, then it takes priority over the initialization variable.
