Decimal values within the message (default = Hex Values).
• Hex values will display with a leading $ character. For example the message: STRING from
CHANNEL 6 - $0F$1D has two control codes converted to hexadecimal.
• Decimal values will display with a leading # character: STRING from CHANNEL 6 - #15#29.

notification and system diagnostic messages. The number specified here will be divided evenly
between the two files.
• The range is 2 - 500 MB (default = 10).
• If you have less than 500 MB free on your disk, then the upper range value will be adjusted
according to the amount of free space on your disk.
• Your TEMP or TMP environment variables are used to determined the drive used for the two
buffer files.
