Configuration - XTREE TIP

The XTree Configuration Menu is entered with Alt-F10. From here you can customise the program to your preferences. You can select screen colours. You can specify whether XTree should start with the directory display or the applications menu. You can select whether the small file window is entered or bypassed, whether the highlight bar in the directory window should be movable or fixed, and whether the file display should initially be one-column (showing the most filenames), two-column or three-column (giving the full directory information - including file attributes and time to the second, which are both not shown by DOS's DIR command).

If you are not happy with XTree's own editor 1Word, you can enter the name of your preferred editor, and this will be used whenever you select Edit. But one word of warning: don't choose WordStar, or any other editor which has a default directory for storing its document files. XTree's Edit function assumes that the editor will open a file in the currently logged directory, whereas WS will look for it in its document directory.
