- 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.
