Hi, does anyone know how to force me editor to read tools.ini file. In the documentation it say that a variable init should be set the directory were tools.ini is, but the editor never reads the file in that directory. i.e. SET INIT=C:\EDITORS\INIT Thank you, gary

Pretty sure that the TOOLS.INI is already being read - but not acted upon. Check that you have a section header (of the format [xxx] ) where the xxx's inside the square brackets are the filename (without the extension) of the executable being run as Microsoft Editor. Let me clarify a bit: I'm running the ME in two environments. I've renamed the DOS-mode version to M.EXE and the OS/2-mode version to MEP.EXE . Now, both versions use the same TOOLS.INI , but by tagging the sections like this... [MEP] ; OS/2 -mode macros, etc. [M] ; DOS-mode macros, etc. So, you (running the editor as ME.EXE) should make sure the TOOLS.INI section header reads [ME] . Hope this helps, Terveisin: Risto Lankinen -- Risto Lankinen / product specialist *************************************** Nokia Data Systems, Technology Dept * 2 2 * THIS SPACE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK * 2 -1 is PRIME!
