If you run one of the automatic setup procedures after WintextCom Personal Information Manager(tm) installation and click the OK button to save settings, WTC creates a one-line version of the Windows Launchpad containing the configuration string that was in the port number edit box of the automatic setup dialogue.

You can open the settings file at any time by selecting the change/review settings option on either the directory dialling/setup menu or the communications settings menu. If you open the settings file after successful completion of the automatic setup procedure, you are presented with the configuration string that you saved. You can edit the string and add new lines to the file, or insert lines. If the configuration string contains more than one setup directive, you can split it over several lines if preferred. When finished, exit the editor and save the settings. WTC acknowledges almost all new settings immediately, without having to be restarted.

If there is no settings file when you select change/review settings, WTC automatically creates it as a copy of the complete list of setup directives provided in the WTC installation program. This list, called the default configuration file, is saved as a file called "wtc.stp" in the program install folder, and WTC copies it to "wtc.wtc" if the latter does not exist when you try to open it, thereby creating a template of all settings to begin working on.

"wtc.stp" furnishes an archive of all available setup directives that you can use for reference and to copy settings. We use the term "default configuration file" for this archive to avoid confusion with "wtc.wtc", which is the "default settings file", the active settings file that WintextCom Personal Information Manager(tm) processes by default at startup.
