[Ifeffit] Demeter-devel Athena on OS 10.9.4

[Margaret Hinkle]

Dear Emmanuelle,
Here is exactly what I did to set the Athena tip-of-the-day parameter to
false. I hope this helps.

1. Open the file 'athena.demeter_conf' using Xcode or your text edit
application.
This should be the only file of that name on your computer, so you can find
this either by searching in spotlight, or if your demeter-devel downloaded
to the same folders mine did, go to the following folder to find
athena.demeter_conf:

/opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.16.3/darwin-thread-multi-2level/Demeter/configuration


2. Edit the tip-of-the day section per Bruce's instructions. The first
section is where you will change the tip-of-the-day parameter (See that
line 47 stipulates variable=tips -- that is the section you want). Line 51
should say 'default=true'. Change this to 'default=false'. Then you should
be good to go!

Good luck!

Best,
Margaret Anne
