Re: "unrecognized command" and setting file backup

[Daniel Say say@xxxxxxxx]

" If the unrecognized command in the error message is ";", my guess is

" everyone else: keeping a backup of any files you intend to customize can
" avoid hours of misery.

	I agree, and you should comment on the lines to a
	separate comment file too.

	How many people know what each line of their STARTUP.INT
	for XY3, or the SETTINGS.DFL of XY4 mean anymore. A few
	months after setting you may not recognize the cryptic
	comments and settings and why you changed or reset them.

	So STARTUP.INT and STARTUP.TXT, the latter a copy of STARTUP.INT
	with comments on each setting.
