If you have neither a USRPROPS.TXT nor a SAPROPS.CFG file, however, every diagram, symbol, and definition still has a name and the property description. The default values for description are included later in this section.

How you lay out the actual code in the USRPROPS.TXT file itself is up to you. You can provide a tab structure so that it is easier to see the beginnings of List, Diagram, Symbol, and Definition statements. However, different text editors can represent tabs different ways: for example, if you use Microsoft Word as your text editor, and then open up the USRPROPS.TXT later in a different text editor, the tabs you set in Microsoft Word can be spaced completely differently.
