'c:\pcb\ppes\light\') Now it's time for some real work... ->Example: Suppose you want to use this ppe for a LiGHTúBaR mechanism in your bulletins... (but ofcoz you can use this ppe for other things aswel) You edit your CMD.LST and you add: B 0 C:\PCB\PPES\LIGHT\BAR10.PPE BULL.CNF  ³ the config file for the mechanism<ÄÙ the filename if fully your choice! The config file MUST be placed in the same directory where the ppe is installed in! Then comes the most important part of the install procedure: making the CNF-file... There is an example of an CNF-included in the zipfile study it! and you'll see it's easy to install! ->You must pay attention to the PCB-codes in the textlines: - a textline with a background color MUST end in a PCB-code that restores that backgroundcolor! oki? - if you want to use a 'lightned' textline you could use the ALT+255 then you have a 'lightned' space ... just look in the example CNF file.... ->Other possibilities: You use the BAR10.PPE in the conferences menu... Than you add for example this line in your CMD.LST: J 0 C:\PCB\PPES\LIGHT\BAR10.PPE CONF.PPE  Ú-ù=CoNFiGuRaTioN=ÄÄ-Ä-Äú-ÄúÄÄÄÄ--ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ¿ À-ÄÄÄÄ-ÄÄ-Ä-ÄÄ-Äù--ù-ú-Ä-Ä--ÄùÄ--ù-ÄÄÄÄÄÄÙ Here is briefly the documentation of a config file: Line 1.
