Load Config File
Purpose
Reads in a specified configuration file.
Default Syntax
ESC l
Description
This command reads in a specified configuration file created with the
Save Config File command. A configuration file consists of one or more
of the following components:
* User-defined options settings
* Non-default key assignments
* Macro definitions
Several configuration files can exist, all of which can be read in using
this command during a given session.
When you execute the command, HP EDIT prompts you for the configuration
file name. After you specify a valid name, HP EDIT activates the
configuration file attributes for the session. Note that the newly
activated attributes only apply to the current editing session. HP EDIT
does not copy the configuration to other sessions when you use the
Activate Next Process and/or Activate Previous Process commands.
Consequently, you must load the configuration for each session.
Procedure
To read in a configuration file:
1. Press ESC, then press the l key, or press the File Commands
function key, followed by the Load Config function key. HP EDIT
displays Read Config File: on the message line.
2. Type the desired file name. HP EDIT displays the message Reading
FILENAME... while it is loading the attributes from the
configuration file to the session. The message disappears after
the attributes have been activated.
Example
To read in the configuration file named SAVEKEY:
1. Press ESC, then press the l key, or press the File Commands
function key, followed by the Load Config function key. HP EDIT
displays the following message:
Read Config File: _
2. Type savekey at the cursor position and press Return. HP EDIT
displays the following message:
Reading SAVEKEY..._
After HP EDIT updates the current configuration based on the
configuration file contents, the message disappears and the cursor
returns to its former position in the file.
