every time Panda is started and it defines parameters that control
run-time behavior.
Create a file called Configrc in your home directory (or wherever you
find convenient). Note that this file must have no extension; in
particular, it should not have the extension "txt". Notepad will add
this extension by default, so if you use Notepad to create the file,
you should then rename it so that it does not have the extension
"txt".
Create a file called Configrc in the $INSTALL_DIR/etc directory. By
convention, your custom Configrc file should not have any extension,
not even the extension ".txt"; this differentiates it from the
standard Configrc files which are installed into the $INSTALL_DIR/etc
file.

If you do not specify otherwise (and you did not redefine
DEFAULT_CONFIGRC_DIR in your Config.pp file), Panda will look for the
Configrc file in the current directory, so for now try to run pview
from within the same directory as your Configrc file. If all goes
well, it should open up a window with a blue triangle. You can use
the mouse to move the triangle around. You can also pass the name of
an egg file, if you have one (look in the models directory for some
sample egg files), on the command line, and pview will load up and
display the egg file.

CONFIGRC_DIR, you will no longer automatically load the standard

possible to configure Panda to search for Configrc files in more than
one directory, but this is a little more complicated and is outside
the scope of this document.
