The utility automatically loads configuration data from the smconfig.ini file. This
data is used to build the contents of the Config Data pull-down menu in the utility.
The smconfig.ini file is the default file, but you could load a different file of
configuration data on the command line. For example, if you built an initialization
file called "mydata.ini" you would load it with the command:
smconfig mydata.ini
Alternatively, you could load the data from "mydata.ini" with the File Open command
described below.
Main window
The SM Config pull-down menu lets your select the main features of the utility. To
access menu items, use the arrow keys. Press the <Enter> key to select a menu item.
A brief description of each menu item is displayed in the tip-view window (displayed
at the bottom of the screen) when you select it.
File open
Use the File menu to open a different ini file of configuration data. You can specify a
file name with path and extension, select a file name from a file list, or browse
directories and drives from a list. Use the <Tab> key to move between these options.
Use the left and right arrow keys to move between the file and directory lists, and the
<Esc> key to cancel altogether. The <Ins> and left/right arrow keys are supported in
the edit box for entering a file name.
When you open an ini file, SM Config validates the contents of the file and updates
the Config menu with the configuration items in the file. (See the following
"Updating/viewing config data" on page 125 section for details about configuration
items in the default smconfig.ini file.)
