Ensign does most of the setup for you. Click on the Setup menu and then Images, and you will see the following. The red numbers are keyed to the notes below: Click on Reset to dacharts and Ensign will reset fields to their defaults.

1. If you wish to save charts to your hard disk, Ensign will use this path. More practical paths might include:
   C:\Ensign\mycharts\
   C:\My Documents\charts\
   
2. The Web site path tells Ensign which daily folder on dacharts.com to put your chart in. Ensign keeps track of this and you should normally not have to change it.
   
3. Most traders use this for a Prefix which is used as the first part of the file name, followed by a number (see 7). Please use "_" (underscores) in the Prefix, rather than spaces. For example:
   B_, Ensign-, FL, Mary_Yvy, Randy_NC
   
4. The next chart number that will be used if you use Automatic # (see 7). You can change this if you wish to start numbering charts at a different number.
   
5. These should not be changed. If you change them your charts will not post to dacharts.com
   
6. You can click on either of these buttons; the first will direct charts to your hard disk (see 1), the second will direct charts to dacharts.com, (or other compliant web site of your choice if you change fields 5-5-5)
   
7. The most common choice is Automatic # which takes the Prefix (see 3) and appends the next chart number (see 4), which is then incremented.
