This is the configuration file for the ME text editor.
There must not be any blank lines at the top of the file. Likewise,
there should be at least one blank line after the last parameter.
The format of each config line is the two letter parameter code, fol-
lowed by the default value, followed by an optional comment.
A boolean parameter can take either '1' or 'y' for 'yes', and '0' or
'n' for 'no'. All values are specified in decimal.
Be extremely careful if you mess around with the tx parameter. It
controls the size of the "chunk" of memory which is allocated per
line. For instance, let's say that tx is 80. Then, if a line has 0
through 79 characters, the line will have 80 bytes of storage
allocated to it. If the line has 81 through 159 characters, then the
line will have 160 bytes allocated to it. The smaller you make the tx
value, the less memory the editor will take for small lines. However,
with constant reallocation of memory, the memory pool becomes
fragmented, and there may be a greater chance of not being able to
allocate memory for a large line.
