1.4.4 THE FILE SELECTOR

What if you can’t remember which files are on the disk? LW has a file selector which is accessible from any filename input dialogue. Just press the <Tab> key when the program is waiting for a filename, and the file selector will appear, listing all the files in the current folder on disk.

Just highlight the file you want and press <Return> to load it. See “THE DISK MENU” in Chapter 4 for more information about the file selector.

1.4.5 BASIC CONFIGURATION

You can configure LW to suit yourself. Pressing:

<SHIFT+CTRL+Q> Save configuration

will allow you to save the configuration to disk. The file will automatically be given the default extender CFG, and you should call the file LW.CFG if you want your new preferences to be available the next time you boot the program.

As described above, LW normally wraps words to the next line if they don't fit as you type. You can turn this feature off with:

<CTRL+W> Word wrap toggle
