Re: SETCFG command added to change config options on the fly

Hi Harry,

It is a good suggestion to show current settings. Now the SETCFG command without any parameters will list the current config settings. And more config options including EVENSIZE, FRAME, PADDING, SHORTCUT, SMALLCLR and TIMEOUT can be changed by the SETCFG on the fly from the DOS command line. Hope this will be useful.

Wengier,

It would be convenient if there were a way to get a display of any CONFIG
setting that is currently in effect. In XyWrite, we can find that out for
its settings variables by entering, on the command line, VA/NV xx, where xx
is the two-letter mnemonic for the variable in question.

Regards,
Harry
