Remember that you must save the options to have DINFO remember them next time you start the program. As you select the options they are in effect at once for the current session. The following options are available to you: Hide frame controls Beep when swapper.dat shrinks or grows by 1 megabyte Hide DINFO until a certain minimum free space threshold is reached Select the minimum free space you want to have left before DINFO surfaces from hiding Hide or show DINFO on the Window List Enter the amount of milliseconds DINFO will pause between updating the display ═══ 4.1.

Please note that Dinfo will force a check in this box if you also select that Dinfo must remain hidden until a certain minimum space is reached. The reason for this is that you might otherwise find yourself with a Dinfo that cannot be closed because it is not visible and it cannot be selected from the Window List! ═══ 4.6.
