- 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.
