CHANGING INI FILES:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you want to change to another INI file click on "PROFILES" (alt-p).

You can choose:
  - USER INI FILE (os2.ini)
  - SYSTEM INI FILE (os2sys.ini)
  - USER AND SYSTEM FILE (above together)
  - Other INI files (this could be for example AmiPro's INI FILES)

If you click on USER or SYSTEM file the user and/or system ini file are opemed
as set in the enviromental variable which must be set in the config.sys file.

If you choose "Other .." a file dialog box is opened with the directory shown
where INITOR was started up. If you save the path as shown below "Saving ..."
the next time you open INITOR the file dialog box opens with the same path.


MOVING AROUND:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You simply click on an application to go to another application in the
"Application Name" Window using scroll bars as well.
All key names of that application will be displayed in the "Key Name" window.
The data of the first key will be displayed in HEX and ASCII.

If you need another key, click on another key and the new data will be 
displayed with offset and the number of bytes in HEX and ASCII.


EDIT KEYS AND KEY DATA:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you need to change data of an  application use "Edit Application" (alt-e).
A Dialog box will appear with the application name in the first row,
the key name in the second row and the key data last.

You cannot change the application name, that is set read only but you can
change the key name and the data.

The first dialog box is for ASCII strings with values above 32 and below
127 (ASCII). If key data is shown with values below 32 you can click
on "HEX" button and another dialog box appears to be able to change
binary data.


HEX DATA EDITING:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you clicked on the HEX button in the "ADD-EDIT" dialog box above a
dialog box appears to edit hex (binary) data. Just edit data
as required keeping a space between each BYTE and use 
HEX and BINARY numbers to enter data into the window.

You must keep a space between each byte or else your data will not
be accepted. The box will stay until the data is accepted 
or you press CANCEL.

You must end the data in the hex window with a "00" and a space. 
The "00" is part of the key data in the ini files and the space
is the programs way to determine a byte separated from another byte.
I dont think this is a major problem although it might seem a little
awkward in the first place.


DELETING APPLICATIONS AND KEYS:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you need to delete a key or application click on "Delete Items" (alt-i).

"Delete Application" will delete the applcation pointed at with all keys 
belonging to THAT application and the data belonging to the keys.
An application example:  "AMIUSER" in the provided test.ini!

"Delete Selected Key" will only destroy the key and the data.
A key example of above application:  "BackUpPath"
Data for the above key:              "d:\tmp"

You are asked for confirmation to delete the key/application.


ADDING APPLICATIONS AND KEYS:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you need to add a new application or add a key to an existing 
application choose "Add Items" (alt-i).

"Add new application" adds a new application to the ini file. An 
application is for example "AmiPro". If you add a new application 
it will be sorted alphabetically (not in the ini file).

"Add new key" adds a new KEY to the current application pointed at.
A new key would be for example "INIPATH" (data in my case: d:\os2).


SAVING DATA AND SCREEN LOCATION:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If you want to save the data you have changed, added or deleted, want to save 
your screen location and save your last path click on "SAVE" (alt-s).

You can save changes to the data by selecting "Changes".
You can save the window location (quite handy) by selecting "Screen Location".
You can save the last path by selecting "PATH"

I DOES NOT WRITE ANYTHING TO YOUR INI FILES BEFORE YOU TELL IT TO DO SO.
(and if you want to delete it, well, you've got the toold now...)


NOTE:
~~~~~
Note that this editor was written with speed in mind. I am looking 
after a few systems (LanServer 4.0 etc) and needed a quick ini editor 
to change a few settings to make a few applications "behave" a little better. 
I got frustrated with LOTUS ini editor because it doesn't remember the last path,
screen location and comes up with this box at startup telling you its dangerous
to change something in you ini files.

So I wrote this one and use it (and a few friends too) nearly every day.

An I left out a few things to make this program faster to work with
and not have to press too many buttons.


TEST INI FILE:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have included a test ini file which you can load an try out a few things 
before you want to change the "real" ones. It has a number of applications,
keys and key data in it. The file is taken from my LOTUS AmiPro.

It is the "AMIUSER3.INI" files which contains all the setttings of a user.

The first APPLICATION is the "AMIUSER" in that file.
A KEY is for example the "BACKUPPATH" and the KEYDATA is "H:\AMIPRO\TMP"
(AmiPro's direcotry on my machine is on "H").

Try a few things here and you get the idea.
