SET RexxNews Configuration Variables and Values
[This section is due for a major overhaul...]
The SET command is used to display and/or change the various RexxNews options.
When the set command is issued with no paramters, a list of variable names,
their values, and their types is displayed.
The variable types are:
W Whole Number (including dates such as 940413)
B Binary (0=false, 1=true)
A Alphanumeric
S Any String
If a variable is displayed by the SET command, you can use the set command to
change its value. Most of the variable names are long and self-explanatory.
You must supply a value of the correct type to change a variable's value. An
error message will be returned otherwise.
The variables include:
T
y
p
