Configuration



Colors

The commands to change color schemes, and colors are:



Command

Effect

COLOR #

COLOR # # # #
COLOR # R G B

First # is the color.



Some people prefer monochrome (easier on the eyes, in full screen), so you may want to use that setting:


Examples:

Input

Effect

COLOR

COLOR 0 10 20 40

Sets the console background color to slate gray: RGB 10,20,40


Fonts

The font Type, and Spacing can be configured, to show more or less lines in the disassembly window.


Command

Effect

FONT MODE #

Examples:

Input

Effect

FONT MODE 2

Minimal” Line Spacing.  Shows the most amount of lines.

FONT “Arial”

Switch disassembler font to Arial.

FONT “Courier New”

Switch disassembler font to Courier New.


Scripts

You can run custom batch or script files that contain debugger commands.  Scripts files do not echo their input; to print a string to the output console window, use the ECHO command. NB. When AppleWin initially starts-up, it will attempt to auto-run 'DebuggerAutoRun.txt' (searching starts in the "Current Directory"[1], otherwise in the same folder as AppleWin.exe).

[1] "Current Directory" is implicitly set when inserting disk/harddisk images and ultimately by the command line switch: -current-dir <path>.


Command

Effect

RUN filename

Runs the specified script filename; the filename may be quoted.

ECHO string

Echo the text to the debugger console. The string may optionally be quoted.


Examples:

Input

Effect

RUN “Test.txt”

Runs the script file called: “Test.txt”

ECHO “Hello World”

Prints the classic “Hello World” to the output console.
