The winconfig and related commands allow you to configure the
characteristics of NeTraverse Merge sessions and save those
configurations for future use.
Each user starts with one standard DOS configuration and one
standard Windows configuration, dos and win,
respectively.
You can modify the standard configurations, create and modify new
named configurations, list configurations, and delete
configurations.
Most of these commands are alternatives to the Merge Setup utility, which
is accessible on the X Desktop.
You can use Merge Setup instead of winconfig to specify
and save configuration options.
The Merge Setup Save As button has the same effect as
addwinconfig.
Merge Setup also lists the names of saved configurations and
allows you to delete them.
The winconfig command displays, sets, or deletes configuration options
that customize NeTraverse Merge sessions.
config is either the standard dos or win
configuration names or the name of a saved, customized NeTraverse Merge configuration.
Use the winconfig list command to display option values,
the winconfig set command to
set option values, and the winconfig delete command
to remove option definitions.
delete can be used only to remove customdev settings from
a configuration.
option can be any of the options listed below, which affect
the operation of NeTraverse Merge sessions.
Use addwinconfig to create and save new Merge configurations.
A new configuration starts as a copy of an existing configuration.
Select an existing DOS or Windows NeTraverse Merge configuration depending on
whether your new configuration is for a DOS or Windows environment.
Once you create a new configuration, you can use winconfig to
customize it any way you want.
Configuration names can contain up to 10 characters including
A through Z (uppercase or lowercase), 0 through 9, and the hyphen (-).
You can start NeTraverse Merge sessions using saved configurations
by using Merge Setup (on the X Desktop) or by using the UNIX
command-line +k option as follows:
dos +k[user:]config
or
win +k[user:]config
The user option allows you to share configurations
with other users.
When you specify user, you use the named configuration
that belongs to the specified user.
Note:
You cannot use the +kuser:config option to
specify a configuration belonging to an NIS-administered user other
than yourself.
The dos and win commands with no arguments are equivalent to
dos +kdos and win +kwin, respectively.
The delwinconfig command deletes a saved configuration.
You cannot delete the standard dos or win configurations.
The listwinconfig command displays the names of all configurations.
The winconfig options and their legal values are listed below.
Some values are tokens.
(A token is a brief name for a hardware device that is either predefined
by Merge or added by the system administrator. See
winadmin(1merge)
for additional information on tokens.)

dosfont=
Specifies the font size to be used for a DOS session running inside
an X window.
The values are auto, small, and medium.
drive=
Specifies how drive letters are mapped.
This option has the following form:
Here, driveletter is the DOS
drive letter; drive_name can be none,
indicating that the drive is not mapped to anything,
a DOS fixed disk in the form dosn,
or a token for a virtual drive.
ems=
Specifies the amount of expanded
memory to be attached to a NeTraverse Merge session.
The value is a number of
megabytes of expanded memory from 0 through 8.
installcolormap=
Specifies whether a private color map is used for NeTraverse Merge
sessions running on the Desktop.
Values are true and false.
(This option is useful only when the Desktop display can only show
16 or 256 colors.)
lptn=
Specifies the DOS printer ports for NeTraverse Merge
sessions (LPT1, LPT2, or LPT3).
The value is a printer class token, followed by a
timeout value t from 5 through 3600 (or 0, which means
printing never occurs as the result of a timeout), as follows:
lpt1=token,t
maxcolors=
Value is low, medium, or high.
Specifies the maximum number of colors NeTraverse Merge allocates to a Windows
session.
low allocates only 20 colors.
medium
reserves an additional 49 colors.
high reserves the original
20 colors, plus 109 more. (This option is useful only when using a shared
colormap, i.e.
installcolormap is set to false, and the Desktop display
has 256 colors.)

showmenukey=
Specifies the key combination that
brings the menu and status bars your NeTraverse Merge window

You can set the key combination to any combination of <Ctrl>,
<Alt>, and <Shift>
keys plus another key, which you specify with the X key symbol name.
When you specify more than one key, separate them with spaces
and surround the combination with quotes.
For example, to set the key combination to
<Ctrl><Alt><Shift><F10>:
showmenukey="ctrl alt shift F10"
To set the showmenu key to be just the <Home> key:
showmenukey=Home
