When R:BASE starts, the configuration file is used to set the default R:BASE operating environment including multi-user and environment settings, key map definitions and character tables. The configuration file sets the application environment.
Before changing a configuration file, make a backup copy of the file. Check your modifications carefully before saving the file, and test the edited file before you deliver the application to a user.
You can change the configuration file using the R:BASE Editor, or by using any ASCII text editor. The configuration file contains lines with semicolons as the first character, and lines with startup options. Insert lines beginning with a semicolon (;) to separate the file into sections or add comments. The changes you make will take effect the next time you start R:BASE or the custom application.
