The scroll area titled User Defined Buttons consists of buttons for
which you can configure behavior, layout, and color.
The following information is covered in this section:

Default Buttons Files
The buttons are defined in ASCII button files named
iwbuttons.<sim> in $VIRSIMHOME/appfiles, where <sim> is
a 3 character extension to identify the simulator. You can modify this
file to add buttons for frequently used commands. The Button Area
is divided into sections with each section identified by a section title
(first row) and any number of buttons.
