MBUTTONPAN

Controls the behavior of the third button or wheel on the pointing device.

NOMUTT

Suppresses the message display (muttering) when it wouldn't normally be suppressed.

OFFSETGAPTYPE

Controls how to offset polylines when a gap is created as a result of offsetting individual polyline segments.

OLEQUALITY

Controls the default plotting quality of embedded OLE objects .
