Chapter 3 System Management

The config file contains many of the LTPlus operating parameters.  It may be
modified by anyone via the config command (or by editing the file with the
edit command or with any system ascii editor).  A set of standard default
parameters in a config file will be packaged with the LTPlus software.  The
system manager will have to review and modify any of the config file parameters
which could prevent start up of LTPlus.  Once the software can be implemented
properly, any user may customize the LTPlus processing environment by executing
a config command, described as follows:

config

    Modifies default configuration parameters.

         config item=string

    Modifies default configuration settings.  Only one equivalency
    (item=string) may accompany a config command entry.
