[FLASH-USERS] Problem trying to change species name from 'target' to 'buzz' in LasSlab example

[Adam Reyes]

Hi Izzy,

The last place would be in the 'Config' file located in your simulation
directory. For example in
"source/Simulation/SimulationMain/LaserSlab/Config" there are runtime
parameter declarations like:

PARAMETER sim_targetRadius REAL 0.0050
>

These declare to the setup script parameters that you want the compiled
executable to be able to read from your parfile at runtime. You can read
more about the PARAMETER directive, and other Config file syntax here
