The Console Extras facility holds configurations of the following utility lists: 1. User utility lists are lists that belong to particular user IDs.
2. A customized utility list is a list that has been customized for your system.

When you access Console Extras from the NonStop NET/MASTER MS Primary Menu, the facility searches for a configured utility list in the sequence 1 (your personal utility list), 2, and 3. You can ask your system manager to customize a utility list for your user ID.
