CONFIG CTRLKEYS|MOREKEYS|DOT|HIDE|COLOUR|COPYSIZE|FNCSIZE

This command is for changing the default settings.

* CONFIG CTRLKEYS is for command-line-editing-keys-definitions
  (great word :).  In other words: You can change the meaning of keys
  pressed with CTRL (Control) key and some other keys (TAB ^I,
  Backspace ^H, Return ^M, Shift-Return ^J, ESC ^[).

  "CONFIG CTRLKEYS" shows the current settings,
  "CONFIG CTRLKEYS WQSEIX[TYHJMLRVFP" sets the default settings.

  To change something, just change the character corresponding to
  the key pressed with CTRL. See some lines above for some CTRL-
  equivalents.
  eg. TAB is same as CTRL-I . So to use CTRL-K instead of TAB, you use:
        config ctrlkeys WQSEKX[TYHJMLRVFP
  Warning: You may get confused if you define one key twice.
  If you want to get really confused, try:
        config ctrlkeys WQSEKX[TIYMJHRVFP

* "CONFIG MOREKEYS" shows the keys that can be pressed inside  MORE .
  The uppercase keys represent the cursor keys, default is: ABCDSTqsnjwrh
  It works similar to CONFIG CTRLKEYS. To use RETURN key to exit MORE use:
        config morekeys ABCDST^Msnjwrh     (see also  ECHO )
  
* "CONFIG DOT character" replaces the dot character (.) where it has a
  special meaning ( ECHO , SEARCH , PUTMSG , dir back, force disk, abbreviation)
  eg.   config dot *

* "CONFIG HIDE pattern" sets the files that are hidden by  DIR 
  and  filename completion . The pattern must contain at least
  one  wild card .
  "CONFIG HIDE" shows the current settings (by default none).

  eg.   config hide         {display current hiding pattern}
        config hide ""      {unset the hiding pattern}
        config hide *.info  {ignore *.info-files}
        config hide *.info|*.bak {hide files ending in .info and .bak}
        config hide ~*.tex|*.dvi {show only *.tex and *.dvi-files}

* "CONFIG COLOUR colours" defines the use of colours. "colours" has to be
  a 8 digit number. The digit at position x defines to what colour number
  the default colour x is mapped to. Everything clear ? (I think no!)
  Thsi is global. Do not forget to make a CLS afterwards.
  eg.   config colour 01234567   {sets the default colours}
        config colour 01111111   {switches to one colour mode, very useful
                                  with OS3.0+ to speed up scrolling}
        config colour 01233321   {if you want to use only 4 colours}

* "CONFIG COPYSIZE bytesize" sets the size of the memory block used for
  COPY, MOVE and SPLIT to "bytesize" bytes. The default setting 50000
  semms to be a good value for both harddisk and floppydisk. If you
  only use floppydisk try:
        config copysize 20000
  and to display the current setting use:
        config copysize

* "CONFIG FNCSIZE bytesize" sets the size of the memory block used to
  store the last used directory at  filename completing  (=FNC).
  If this memory block (=FNC buffer) is too small, FNC has to read the
  directory again every time you press TAB and TAB cycling does not work.
  To save memory you can try:
        config fncsize 2000      for 2000 bytes FNC buffer or
        config fncsize 0         for no FNC buffer at all
  and to display the current setting use:
        config fncsize
