Fixes #994

abrudz added 2 commits August 11, 2026 12:24
Add a Session Initialisation section to the Shell Scripts page: an
executable script does not initialise the Session by default, so set
DYALOG_INITSESSION to 1 to make Link, SALT and similar features
available.

Give DYALOG_INITSESSION a page in the Windows Configuration Parameters
guide (alongside its release-notes copy, as with DyalogStartup_X), and
correct its default to 1 for interactive sessions and 0 for executable
scripts and run-time versions.
Format the parameter values 0 and 1 as code, and point the Windows
Configuration Parameters copy's Session Initialisation link at the
current page rather than the version-pinned help site, matching the
neighbouring parameter pages. Part of Dyalog#994.
