I feel like I'm losing my mind. I can't remember where the default product display page is defined. We are using a ReadyTheme, if that makes a difference. Anyway, it's a really fundamental question, but I can't remember where it is, and I can't find it.

PROD - Product Display?
Here's something that will help. Use your browsers 'inspector' feature to look at the body id. For example, the product page, has
<body id="js-PROD"
That last bit is the code of the page you are looking at.
To use the inspector tool
Chrome: right-click, Inspector
Edge & Firefox: right-click, Inspect Element

Thanks Bruce.
Maybe I'm losing my mind more than I thought. I was thinking there was a setting somewhere in the admin that defined the default product display page. In other words, you could define a default product page display other than PROD. I'm talking about a different setting than the "Alternate Display Page" field for each product. Now I'm thinking it was my imagination, and PROD is unalterable as the default product display page.

Ah, unless you use old style links and htaccess redirects, I don't think you can globally redirect PROD to say PROD2. You'd have to change the Alternate Display Page for each product (which you could do via import). Or, I think Kent Multer has a module that will let you intercede in the page dispatch (i.e., Change Screen=PROD to Screen=PROD2). Not sure if that would incur a slight performance hit or not.
The best answer depends on what you are trying to do by this change.Bruce Golub

Another possibility is to go through the page templates, and just change the page code PROD to something else in every link or form field where it appears. But as Bruce said, it depends on what you're trying to accomplish. Why do you want to do this?

I should explain. I don't want to do this, but I thought you could and I wanted to make certain an alternate page hadn't been set while Kent was working on updates. Of course, since you can't even do that, it pretty much answers the question. Trying to do things simply, I made them more complicated.
