config -- display or change Davex configuration
syntax: config [-p slot] [-b y|n] [-4 y|n] [-c y|n]
[-h string] [-q integer]
ex: config -- show current settings
config -p1 -- printer slot 1
config -by -- use system bell
config -p7 -bn -- printer slot 7, "blat" bell
config -4n -cy -- 80 columns, show IIgs clock
config -h .62help -- set location of help directory
config -q2 -- don't print "welcome" message
'config' with no parameters displays the current values of all options
that you can set with this command.
The -p option sets the default printer slot. This slot number is used
when you specify "&" as the pathname for a "como" or ">" command. Also,
'spool' and Apple-H (hardcopy of screen) always print to the slot you
set with 'config'.
-b is a yes/no option that determines whether the system beep will be
used. If -bn is given, the standard ProDOS buzz is used. IIgs users
especially may want to use -by, since the pitch is configurable through
the control panel (or through the 'conp' external command).
-4 is a yes/no option. When set to yes, it restricts your display to
40 columns (while in Davex) even if you have an 80-column card. Note
that some things are not formatted well in 40 columns--most notably, the
help files. (The new display setting takes effect when you hit RESET or
re-enter Davex.)
-c is a yes/no option that has effect only on an Apple IIgs. When set
to Yes, the date and time that appear when you hit Return without typing
a command will include seconds and will be in the format you have selected
in the Control Panel.
-h sets the pathname of the Help directory. The default is "%help". The
string can be a full pathname, or it can start with "%" or with a slot/
drive specification (ex: ".62help"). This option is useful if several
people are running Davex from separate directories on the same hard drive
and want to keep just one copy of the help files.
-q controls whether the "welcome" message is printed when you enter Davex.
The default is 0, and the message is always printed. Set to 2 and the
message will not be printed; set to 1 and it will be printed only if no
speech synthesizer is being used.
IIgs users: If your machine is on an AppleTalk network with a LaserWriter
and you have the appropriate files in your SYSTEM/SYSTEM.SETUP directory
and you have run CHOOSER.II (supplied on your system disk) to download the
ImageWriter emulator to the LaserWriter, you can treat the LaserWriter as an
ImageWriter in slot 7. (Slot 7 must be set to "Built-in Appletalk," not
"Your card.")
