8.2 .CFG CONFIGURATION FILES
CFG files contain user preferences such a screen colours, screen width and
resolution, default drive number, filespecs, etc. Many of these command can be
changed via commands in the editor, and the current configuration can be saved as a
CFG file at any time with the <SHIFT+CTRL+Q> command.
If a file called “LW.CFG” resides on the default drive when the program is loaded, this
configuration file is always used at startup. This way, you can keep all your most
commonly used settings in LW.CFG, and load different configurations during an editing
session with <CTRL+Q>.
CFG files are plain text files consisting of lines ending in <Return>. Each line takes the
form of a keyword, followed by a space, and then one or more numeric or textual
arguments separated by commas or spaces.
The full list of CFG file keywords is shown below:
Set default top printed
