Configuration...
 This dialog box  allows you to set a number of configuration
 options.  Use the cursor keys to move to the option you want
 to change, and use the Space bar to change an option.  Press
 Enter to accept the dialog box.

 + Screen colors ------+  This option allows  you  to  choose
 |  ( ) Black & White  |  whether or not  to use  colors. Use
 |  (.) Color          |  the laptop option if you're using a
 |  ( ) Laptop         |  laptop  computer  that  can't  show
 +---------------------+  colors.

 + Screen blank delay -+  This   option  controls  the  delay
 |  ( ) 40 minutes     |  before  the Commander  blanks  your
 |  ( ) 20 minutes     |  screen.  Choose  Off  to  keep  the
 |  ( )  5 minutes     |  screen  from   blanking  after  the
 |       ...           |  specified delay with no keyboard or
 +---------------------+  mouse activity.

   Hint:  To blank the screen instantly, move the mouse  into
          the upper right corner. Move the mouse to the lower
          right corner to keep the screen from blanking.

[x] Ins moves down
 When checked, the cursor bar will move down after you select
 a file with the Ins key.

[x] Auto change directory
 When checked, moving  the cursor bar  in a tree  panel  will
 change to that directory after a short delay. If this option
 is not checked, you'll have to press Enter in the tree panel
 to change directory.

[ ] Menu bar always visible
 Normally  the  menu bar is visible  only as long  as  you're
 selecting an item  from it. Check this  option  to  keep the
 menu bar always visible on the screen.

[x] Auto save setup
 When this option  is  checked, the Commander  will  remember
 exactly how you set up the Commander, even  after  you  turn
 off your computer. Uncheck this option if you don't want the
 Commander to remember so well (in which case you'll need  to
 use Shift+F9 to save the settings).

[ ] Quick execute commands
 Check this  option to execute DOS's commands  without  using
 COMMAND.COM file. If you have  some  problems, uncheck  this
 option.

[x] Zooming boxes
 It causes  dialog  boxes and windows  to "open up" from  the
 center. You may prefer otherwise, just remove the check from
 this option.

[x] Alt alone selects menu
 The  Commander  normally  uses  Alt  key  taps  to  activate
 pulldown menus. Uncheck this option if you have an  Alt  key
 conflict with a TSR or DESQview.

[ ] Left-handed mouse
 Swaps the left and right mouse buttons, which is  useful  if
 you want the mouse on the left side of the computer  instead
 of the right.

[ ] Fast mouse reset
 On some  computers (e.g. a  PS/2  or  COMPAQ  with  a  mouse
 connected to the built-in  mouse port) there will be a delay
 of several seconds before the Commander  appears  after  you
 run a DOS command. Check this option to reduce this delay.
