Initializing the SPM Software

To run correctly, the DOS version of SPM requires certain information
(transmission speed, type of monitor, and so on). You must supply this information
only once—the first time you run SPM.
The information you provide during the initialization process is written to the SPM
configuration file (ams.cfg). If you need to change this information at some later
time, you can do so in either of the following ways:
Use any of the options in
Edit the ams.cfg file. (If you are unsure about editing the file, you can
remove it. You are prompted to reinitialize the next time you invoke SPM.
The file is created at that time.)
NOTE:
The DEBUG attribute is also specified in ams.cfg as DEBUG=0 (off—the
factory setting), or DEBUG=1 (on). This attribute is used to enable the
Escape-to-Shell feature of SPM, activated by pressing
DEBUG on, you must edit the ams.cfg file; it is not part of the initialization
process. The DEBUG attribute is for use by qualified service personnel
only.
