{01 PATH HELP
    PATH HELP
    If you are using a floppy disk, enter the name of the Comal disk
    (e.g. AmigaCOMAL:) or simply ':' as suggested.

    If you have a hard disk, it is recommended to ASSIGN a logical
    drive to your AmigaCOMAL tray (e.g. Cml:) and then use this
    name as the answer to the question.
}

{02 FILE NAME
    At startup, the AmigaCOMAL system looks for a file named
    AmigaCOMAL.preferences. This file contains the startup 
    values that have been selected. The AmigaCOMAL system looks 
    for the file in the following directories:

	current directory
	the directory where AmigaCOMAL is located
	DEVS:

    If you are defining start up values for the AmigaCOMAL system
    itself, simply select the suggested name or, 
    optionally:

   	DEVS:AmigaCOMAL.preferences.

    If you are defining startup values for the compiled
    AmigaCOMAL program, select the name Runtime.preferences or 
    another name (in the latter case, it is necessary to use the -i
    compiler option during the compilation process).
}

{03 COMMAND SCREEN
    Here you select the screen in which the command window should be
    opened.You can either choose the Workbench screen or a
    separate screen.

    A separate screen is recommended unless you are installing a 
    compiled AmigaCOMAL program or you are short on space.
}

{04 SCREEN WIDTH
    Here you select the width of the command window screen. 
    A screen width of 320 pixels corresponds to 40 characters 
    & a screen of 640 pixels corresponds to 80 characters per line.

    Choose 640 unless you are using an old TV as a monitor.
}

{05 INTERLACE
    The answer to this question determines the height of the screen. 
    The height of an interlaced screen is 512 pixels 
    (corresponding to 64 lines) & a non-interlaced one is half that.

    Normally an interlaced screen will flicker unpleasantly, 
    so non-interlaced is recommended.
}

{06 NUMBER OF BITPLANES
    The number of bit planes determines the maximum number of colors
    that can be used in windows on the display in question.

    Use the following table to convert to the number of colors:

	Bit Planes 	 Number of colors
	1 		 2   (Black & White)
	2 		 4
	3 		 8
	4 		 16
	5 		 32
	6 		 64  (Extra Halfbright Mode)

    Some early models do not support extra halfbright.
    NOTE: that each bit plane uses a lot of memory.
}

{07 NUMBER OF BITPLANES [WINDOW]
    The number of bit planes determines the number of colors that
    can be used in the window.

    Use the following table to convert to the number of colors:

	Bit planes 	 Number of colors
	1 		 2   (Black & White)
	2 		 4
	3 		 8
	4 		 16
	5 		 32
	6 		 64  (Extra Halfbright Mode)

    Normally, only one bit plane is used in the command window, 
    as the screen scrolling is faster and since you do not need 
    colors in this window.
}

{08 CHARACTERS PER LINE
    Select the number of characters per line here. This number must
    be a multiple of 4 (4,8,12,16, ....., 76,80,84, ..).

    The selected number does not affect the physical size of the|
    window. If you select more characters per line than can be 
    displayed on the screen, you can use the mouse to show the 
    hidden parts of the line.

    The amount of RAM used by the window depends on the selection.
}

{09 LINE NUMBERS
    This number does not affect the physical size of the window. If
    more lines are selected than can be displayed on the screen, 
    you can use the mouse to show the hidden lines.

    The amount of RAM used by the window depends on the selection.
}

{10 FONT NAME
    Enter the name of your favorite font here. The validity of
    this selection is not tested by the installation program. 
    This is done by AmigaCOMAL. If the font is not found, 
    AmigaCOMAL cannot start!

    The Amiga is normally supplied with the following fonts:

	topaz.font
	ruby.font
	opal.font
	sapphire.font
	diamond.font
	garnet.font
	emerald.font
	siesta.font   [added by www.lived.ch, used font]
	IBM.font      [added by www.lived.ch, used font]	

    However, it is not certain that all of them are on the system
    disk.

    NOTE: That all fonts except topaz, siesta, IBM are proportional
    fonts. It is therefore recommended to use one of them.
}

{11 FONT HEIGHT
    This number is required to specify the font completely. 
    The validity of this selection is not tested by the installation
    program. This is done by AmigaCOMAL. 
    If the font is not found, AmigaCOMAL cannot start!

    The following sizes can be used for the individual fonts:

	name 		size

	topaz.font 	08  09  11
	ruby.font 	08  12  15
	opal.font 	09  12
	sapphire.font 	14  19
	diamond.font 	12  20
	garnet.font 	09  16
	emerald.font 	17  20
	siesta.font	08
	IBM.font	08
}

{12 COMMAND WINDOW TO FRONT
    Choose here whether AmigaCOMAL should bring the command window
    to the front when the program stops, or whether it should remain
    behind the execute window.

    Regardless of the selection, you can bring the command window to
    the front or to the background at any time using the mouse in 
   the usual way.
}

{13 SCREEN SELECTION
    Here, select the screen the execute window should open in. 
    It is possible to select either the Workbench screen or a
    separate screen. If you have chosen to let the command window
    open in a separate screen, this screen can also be selected.

    It is possible to not have an execute window at all. However,
    you will normally only do this if you are installing a compiled
    AmigaCOMAL program that creates its own window.

    The command window screen is recommended unless you are 
    installing a compiled program.
}

{14 SCREEN WIDTH
    Here, select the width of the command window screen. 
    A screen width of 320 pixels corresponds to 40 characters and a
   screen of 640 pixels corresponds to 80 characters per line.

    Select 640 unless you are using an old TV as a monitor.
}

{15 INTERLACE SCREEN MODE
    The answer to this question determines the height of the screen. 
    The height of an interlaced screen is 512 pixels 
    (equivalent to 64 lines) and a non-interlaced one is half that.

    Normally, an interlaced screen will flicker unpleasantly, 
    so non-interlaced is recommended.
}

{16 NUMBER OF BITPLANES [SCREEN]
    The number of bit planes determines the maximum number of colors
    that can be used in windows on that screen.

    Use the following table to convert to the number of colors:

   	Bit planes       Number of colors
	1 		 02  (Black & White)
	2 		 04
	3 		 08
	4 		 16
	5 		 32
	6 		 64  (Extra Halfbright Mode)

    Some early models do not support extra halfbright.

    NOTE: That each bit plane uses a lot of memory.
}

{17 NUMBER OF BITPLANES [WINDOW]
    The number of bit planes determines the number of colors that 
    can be used in the execute window.

    Use the following table to convert to the number of colors:

    	Bit planes      Number of colors
	1 		02 (Black & White)
	2 		04
	3 		08
	4 		16
	5 		32
	6 		64 (Extra Halfbright Mode)

    The number cannot be greater than the number of bit planes 
    in the screen.
}

{18 CHARACTERS PER LINE
    Select the number of characters per line here. This number must
    be a multiple of 4 (4,8,12,16, ..., 76,80,84, ...).

    The selected number does not affect the physical size of the
    window. If you select more characters per line than can be 
    displayed on the screen, you can use the mouse to show the 
    hidden parts of the line.

    The amount of RAM used by the window depends on the selection.
}

{19 NUMBER OF LINES
    This number does not affect the physical size of the window. 
    If you select more lines than can fit on the screen, you can
    use the mouse to show the hidden lines.

    The amount of RAM used by the window depends on the selection.
}

{20 FONT NAME
    Enter the name of your favorite font here. The validity of this
    selection is not tested by the installation program. 
    This is done by AmigaCOMAL.

	emerald.font 	17  20
}

{22 INSERT MODE
    Choose here whether AmigaCOMAL should start in overwrite mode or 
    insert mode.

    If the answer is 'yes', it will start in insert mode. Otherwise,
    it will start in overwrite mode.

    The mode can be changed at any time with the <INS> key.
}

{23 STICKY MODE
    Sticky mode means that you will remain in the current input mode 
    (insert or overwrite) until you change it with the <INS> key.

    Normally, the system will return to the input mode that was
    selected as the startup mode each time you
    press <ESC> or <ENTER>.
}

{24 MEMORY
    This memory is used for AmigaCOMAL programs, AmigaCOMAL packages
    and program variables. The default value of 64 KB will be 
    sufficient in most cases.

    If you are installing a compiled program, the storage will not 
    be used for either the program or packages.

    It is possible to allocate up to 8 MB of storage 
    (if you have that much storage in your Amiga).
}

{25 MEMORY WINDOW
    Here you can choose whether the small window that tells you 
    about free memory should be opened at startup.

    The window can be removed at any time and brought up with the
    command:

	memwindow-/+
}

{26 NUMBER OF THE OPEN FILES
    Only a pre-selected number of files can be open at once.
    Select that number here.

    Four open files at once will normally be sufficient.
}

{27 PATH FOR .LST FILES {TXT Listings}
    When you try to read a file with the commands ENTER and MERGE,
    AmigaCOMAL will search for the file first in the current 
    directory and if the file is not found here, then it is searched
    in the directory specified here.
}

{28 PATH FOR .SAV FILES
    When you try to read a file with the commands:

    LOAD, CHAIN ​​and RUN

    AmigaCOMAL will search for the file first in the current 
    directory and if the file is not found here, then it is searched
    in the directory specified here.
}

{29 PATH FOR .PCK FILES
    When a package is to be used (USE command) AmigaCOMAL
    searches for the package first in the current directory and if 
    the file is not found here, then it is searched in the directory
    specified here.
}

{30 PATH FOR .EXT FILES
    When an external procedure is to be loaded, AmigaCOMAL searches
    for the file first in the current directory and if the file is
    not found here, then it is searched in the directory specified
    here.
}

{31 ICON CREATION
    Choose here whether an icon should be created automatically 
    every time a program is saved (with the SAVE command). If an 
    icon is created, you can start the program by simply clicking
    the mouse on this icon.

    Regardless of the choice here, the creation of an icon can 
    always be forced or suppressed. The commands :

	SAVE "MyProgram",i

    will always create an icon and the command

	SAVE "MyProgram",n

    will not create an icon.
}

{32 DEFAULT TOOL
    When you click on an icon for an AmigaCOMAL program, the 
    Workbench will search for 'the tool' (AmigaCOMAL). The name and
    path of this 'tool' can be found in the 'default tool' field in 
    the icon.

    Select here this 'default tool' and especially the path, i.e. 
    the drawer where it is located.

    Syntax: 
    DRIVE: {FOLDER}/{TOOL}, or DRIVE: {FOLDER}/{SUBFOLDER}/{TOOL}

    e.g. DH1:AmigaCOMAL/AmigaCOMAL
    e.g. DH1:Programming/AmigaCOMAL/AmigaCOMAL
