The Config( ) command lets you display or change any of vEdit's configuration parameters including many not included in the CONFIG menu.
You can display either all 180+ configuration parameters or just one category.
The display from the Config( ) is very similar to the contents of the VEDIT.CFG file described in the vEdit User's Manual. The name of each configuration parameter begins with a one or two letter category name. (The online help lists all categories, F1.)
For example, all screen-display oriented parameter names begin with "S_" and all printing oriented parameter names begin with "P_". You can display just the configuration parameters in one category as in the following examples:
To change the value of a configuration parameter, you must specify its name (upper/lower case doesn't matter and "_" is optional) and its new value.
If you examine a VEDIT.CFG file (created by clicking Config then Save config), you will notice that the parameter name, e.g. W_RT_MARG, can optionally be followed with a descriptive name in quotes, e.g. "Right margin (*) (0=Window, 16 - 255)". vEdit ignores the text between the quotes — it is only intended to improve readability.
Similarly, the Config_String( ) command lets you display all configuration strings or change one.
The Config_Tab( ) command displays the current tab stops or lets you set new ones. It is very similar to clicking Config then Tab stops. You can specify either uniform tab stops or up to 33 explicit tab stops.
The tab stops can be separated from each other with commas or a space. It is the only command that allows numeric arguments to be separated by just a space.
