To work in a remote connection environment, open a remote storage volume on start-up.

To start Flare:

1. Double-click the application icon on the desktop.

   The Project Management menu appears.

2. Select a remote host from the Host Computer box. If the remote host has more than one volume, select a volume from the Volume box. Click Open.
3. Select a project from the Project box or create one. See Managing Projects and Users.
4. Select or create a user:
   • To select a user, select the user name from the User box. You can select a local or remote user by first selecting the appropriate option from the List From box.
   • To create a user, select <New> from the User box. In the Create User menu that appears, you can choose to create a user by copying a user profile.

   If you copy a user profile, note the following:

   • You can copy a user profile from a local or remote system.
   • You can copy all preferences from a user profile in the current version of the application.
   • You can copy only keyboard shortcuts preferences from a user profile in an older version of the application.

     See Managing Projects and Users.
