Using the File Editor
The file editor allows you to modify text files. By modifying
files, such as your AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS files,
you can improve the test system's performance and
eliminate unnecessary lines of information in those files.
NOTE: Always make a backup copy on a self-starting diskette
of the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files before making any changes.
The File Editor is an ASCII text editor that uses the
