Yes, you should be using the config file! The menus are fine for making one or two changes, but for
more-extensive customization -- and to better understand what's happening under the hood -- you'll
want to be editing the settings manually.

Here's what to do. First, command `SaveCfg my.cfg` to write a fresh file that captures all of the
available settings and their current values. Next, put the following command on the CMline and leave
it there while you edit:

SA; RUN $FP

To see a new setting take immediate effect, simply press F9 or Enter.

Not currently, but it's a good, Xy-like idea. I'll add the option in the forthcoming release.
