either is already greater than the minimum specified in this action, it is not changed.

Minimum Files
The minimum number of files to be specified by FILES= in Config.sys. Set this to
zero or leave blank to leave FILES= unchanged.

The minimum number of buffers to be specified by BUFFERS= in Config.sys. Set this
to zero or leave blank to leave BUFFERS= unchanged.
This action sets the value of a variable by providing a literal value, by modifying the
variable's existing value, or by evaluating an expression.
To complete the dialog box
Variable
Specify a variable. A variable name must begin with a letter, must contain only
numbers, letters, and underscore characters, and must be 28 characters or less. It
should not be enclosed in % signs.
New Value
Enter the new value of the variable. If you enter a variable, enclose it in % signs.
The value of a variable can be up to 32 K in size.
The new value is also affected by the option set in Operation.
Operation
Select the operation to be performed on the value in New Value.
Nothing
No additional changes are made.
Increment, Decrement
If the value is a number, it is increased or decreased by one. To do this
operation, you must specify the variable's existing value in the New Value
field. Example: To increment the variable VAR, enter VAR in the Variable field
and %VAR% in the New Value field.
Remove trailing backslashes
Trailing \ characters are removed, converting the variable to a valid directory
name.
Convert to long or short filename
Converts an existing path to its equivalent long or short path if the installation
runs on Windows 95 or NT. For this to work, the specified directory or file must
exist.
