OPTIONS FOR NYW
Pressing <OPTIONS> (the ALT O key) allows you to change some of the
system parameters that control the operation of ME. To change an op-
tion, type the two letter code of the option, a space, and the new
value of the option. The options are :
horizontal scroll - when the text is wider than the screen, you can
scroll horizontally to reach the text that's off the screen. This
option gives the number of columns than the screen will move right or
left for each horizontal scroll. The default value is 40 columns.
tab filler - the space occupied by a tab is represented internally as
a sequence of ascii 144 characters. You can substitute any character
in its place - popular values include blanks (32) and periods.
insert mode on - this mode decides if characters will overwrite
characters at the same cursor position, or push them rightwards.
bell with prompts - the program will beep at you when it prompts you
for a response to certain commands.
prompt on <PUT> - turning this option off will eliminate the sometimes
annoying "Insert, push or overlay" message given to you after you
press <PUT>.
foreground and background colors - controls the color settings
no snow for CGA - turning this option on will eliminate the wait for
horizontal retrace on a CGA.
The default value of any option may be changed by altering the
CONFIG.ME file.
