Initializing the SPM Software
To run correctly, the DOS version of SPM requires certain information
(transmission speed, type of monitor, and so on). You need to supply this
information only once, the first time you run SPM.
The information you provide during the initialization process is written to the SPM
configuration file (ams.cfg). If you need to change this information at some later
time, you can do so in either of the following ways:
■
Use any of the options in Table 2–1 to change the information in ams.cfg.
■
Edit the ams.cfg file. (If you are unsure about editing the file, you can
remove it. You are prompted to reinitialize the next time you invoke SPM.
The file is created at that time.)
