Q67762: Invalid Switch and Extensions in Brief Emulation

Article: Q67762
Product(s): See article
Version(s): 1.02   | 1.02
Operating System(s): MS-DOS | OS/2
Keyword(s): ENDUSER | | mspl13_basic

The M editor version 1.02 comes with a BRIEF.INI file, which contains
the key settings for Brief emulation. If you want Brief emulation, you
must rename this file to "TOOLS.INI". This file will generate the
following three messages when M loads the TOOLS.INI file during
initialization:

   mhctx is not an editor switch
   load:$PATH:ulcase - no such file or directory
   load:$PATH:justify - no such file or directory

The messages are caused by the following three lines:

   Line 223: "mhctx:Alt+H"
   Line 263: "load:$PATH:ulcase"
   Line 369: "load:$PATH:justify"

Deleting these three lines will not change the performance of the M
editor, and will eliminate the messages they cause when M is
initialized.
