SUMMARY
=======

Some SourceSafe check boxes display a gray state; that is, the check box is
neither selected (checked) nor cleared (empty). This state indicates that the
default should be taken from the .INI file.

For example, if the 'Keep Checked Out' check box in the Update dialog box appears
gray, the .INI file setting determines the behavior. If the .INI file setting is
"Keep_Checkedout = Yes," it behaves as if the 'Keep Checked Out' check box is
selected. If the setting is "Keep_Checkedout = No," the files are not kept
checked out after the update.
