Prepositions on Locations

The Prepositions file contains prepositions that are commonly found at the beginning of locations.  Legacy uses the entries in this file list when removing the prepositions while displaying the locations in user-defined sorted order with the "Remove Prepositions" option selected on the Sort Locations list.

The list can be edited as desired. The case of the entries doesn't matter.  Here is a list of the default prepositions that are used if the Prepositions.lst file cannot be found or opened:

 Aboard By Out 
 Above Close to Outside of 
 Across from Down Outside 
 Across the East of Over 
 Across From Past 
 After In back of South of 
 Against In front of Southeast of 
 Ahead of In or near Southwest of 
 Along side In Through 
 Along Into Throughout 
 Among Near Toward 
 Around Next to Under the 
 At the North of Under 
 At Northeast Underneath 
 Before Northwest of Up the 
 Behind Of Up 
 Below Off West of 
 Beneath On the Within 
 Beside On Without 
 Between Onto West of 
 Beyond Out of  

You can edit the Prepositions.lst file in any editor.  Be sure to save it as a straight text file with no formatting codes.  

Put each preposition on its own line.  

Prepositions can have more than one word in the phrase.  For example, Across the, or In front of.

You can put comments in the file by preceding them with a double slash (//).  For example:

// This is a comment line and is not read in by Legacy.
// Also, blank lines are not read.
