Usage:

   If you would like to customize tde to suit your tastes, you may use this
   program to change the colors, key definitions, default modes, help
   screen, and permanent macros.

   At the command line type:

      tdecfg


                           Option 1.  Change Colors

Function Keys:

   F2 = Load default colors
      This function changes the colors back to the original color scheme
      used by the distribution version of tde.

   F3 = Quit
      Abandons any changes made in the color scheme.

   F10 = Write colors to tde.exe
      Stores the new color scheme in the tde executable file.  tde will use
      the new color scheme each time a file is edited.

   ESC = Quit



                           Option 2.  Redefine keys

Function Keys:

   F3 = Quit
      Abandons any changes made in the key definition list.

   F5 = Change Function
      Brings up a window of available functions.  Currently, 230 keys are
      recognized as function keys by tde.  There are no restrictions on
      what function you may assign or reassign to a key.  You may assign a
      key to the null function, seen as "*  *  *".  A key assigned to the
      null function no longer performs any editor function.

      Press <Enter> to reassign the hilited key to the hilited function.
      Press <ESC> to quit the function, no changes are made.

      An asterisk is placed beside all keys that have been redefined.

      Note:  See the list of available functions with definitions at end of
      tde.doc.

   F7 = Print to file
      Print the current key assignments to a file.

   F8 = Print to printer
      Print the current key assignments to the printer.

   F10 = Write Changes
      When you press this key, all function key assignments are written to
      the tde executable file.  The changes are permanent until you
      redefine the keys.

      When you redefine the keys, you should also change the help screen to
      show what functions are assigned to what keys.

   ESC = Quit
      No changes are written to the tde executable file.


                      Option 3.  Install new help screen

Function keys:

   none

   This utility assumes that you have already created or modified a file
   that contains the image of the new help screen.  Sample.hlp is included
   with the distribution files to show you what the initial help screen
   looks like.  You may modify the sample help screen or copy it to a new
   file and make the changes in the new file.  By choosing option 1, the
   configuration utility prompts for the file name with the help screen
   image.  The changes are written to the tde executable file.

   If you enter a file name that doesn't exist, the configuration utility
   sorta gracefully exits this function.  I didn't do anything fancy with
   this option.  You can't press ESC to quit out; however, if you decide
   you want to quit, just enter a fictitious or outrageous file name.  A
   harmless error message with be displayed and you may continue with the
   configuration utility having made no changes to the tde executable file.


                     Option 4.  Set Default Editor Modes

Function Keys:

   F3 = Quit
      Abandons any changes made to the default modes.

   F10 = Save and Quit
      When you press this key, the default editor modes are written to the
      tde executable file.  The changes are permanent until you redefine
      the modes.

   ESC = Quit


                      Option 5.  Install permanent macros

Function keys:

   none

   This utility assumes that you have already created a macro definition
   file.  The only way to create a macro definition file is to use the
   "save macro" function in tde.exe.  Once you have created your favorite,
   most useful macros, just save them to a macro file and make them
   permanent by saving the macro file in tde.exe.

   If you enter a file name that doesn't exist, the configuration utility
   sorta gracefully exits this function.  I didn't do anything fancy with
   this option.  You can't press ESC to quit out; however, if you decide
   you want to quit, just enter a fictitious or outrageous file name.  A
   harmless error message with be displayed and you may continue with the
   configuration utility having made no changes to the tde executable file.


                      Option 6.  Read in a configuration file

Function keys:

   none

   Finally got around to implementing a utility to read in a configuration
   file.  Any function key, editor mode, or color field may be assigned
   a new setting in the config file.  The default configuration file
   distributed with tde is tde.cfg.

   If you enter a configuration file name that doesn't exist, the
   configuration utility sorta gracefully exits this function.  I didn't
   do anything fancy with this option.  You can't press ESC to quit out;
   however, if you decide you want to quit, just enter a fictitious or
   outrageous file name.  A harmless error message with be displayed and
   you may continue with the configuration utility having made no changes
   to the tde executable file.
