Use up arrow and down arrow to move, and left and right arrow to change, ESC
to quit, or F1 to update EEPROM.
Use the up and down arrow keys to move to the category you wish to change.
Use the left and right arrow keys to move the highlight to the selection you 
want.

To change the NUMBER OF DISK BUFFERS or the MAXIMUM # OF OPEN FILES,
move to the current number.  Then, use the left and right arrows to
increase or decrease the numbers.  For example, to change the NUMBER
OF DISK BUFFERS from the default of 2 to 3, move to the number 2.
Then press right arrow once.  The number increase to 3.

VIDEO DISPLAY:

Specify the type of video display you have.
   
AUTOMATIC PROMPT FOR DATE AND TIME:

Specify if you want the date and time prompt to appear during
startup.

NO   (The computer does not ask you for the date and time, but defaults to 
     January 1, 1980 unless you installed the Smartwatch option.)

YES  (You are asked to enter the date and time whenever you boot the system.)

MEMORY DIAGNOSTICS ON START-UP:

Specify if you want your computer to run a memory check on startup. A memory 
check verifies whether all the memory is working properly.

PRIMARY START-UP DEVICE:

Specify the device from which the system is to boot. During startup, the HX 
first tried to boot from the internal ROM DOS. If you change to booting from 
disk, the computer first tries to boot from a diskette in Drive A.  If this 
disk is not available, it boots from the internal ROM DOS.  If you have a 
non-bootable diskette in Drive A, the screen displays an error message.

INITIAL START-UP PROGRAM:

Select the initial operation of your computer after startup.

MENU       The computer automatically displays the HX Menu.

MS-DOS     The screen displays the A> prompt and waits for you to type a command.

DESKMATE   The computer automatically runs the DeskMate program.

COMPUTER SPEED:

Select the computer's initial speed.

FAST:   (7.16 megahertz)       SLOW:   (4.77 megahertz)

NUMBER OF DISK BUFFERS:

Press left and right arrow to change the maximum number of disk buffers your 
system can open, in the range of 2 to 17. The default is 2. This parameter 
only has effect if your computer boots from internal ROM.  If it boots from 
diskette, it looks for a BUFFERS= entry in the Config.sys file.

MAXIMUM # OF OPEN FILES:

Press left and right arrow to change the maximum number of files your system 
can open at one time, in the range of 8 to 23.  The default is 10.

CHECK FOR CONFIG.SYS ON DRIVE A:

Specify whether or not your system is to use the Config.sys file on Drive A 
during startup.

NO:     (Tells the computer not to use the Config.sys file from drive A.)

YES:    (Tells the computer to use the config.sys from Drive A. If none exists, 
        the computer sets FILES and BUFFERS to the values contained in the 
        EEPROM.)

CHECK FOR AUTOEXEC.BAT ON DRIVE A:

Specify whether your computer is to execute the commands in the Autoexec.bat 
file on Drive A during startup.

NO:     (Tells the computer not to execute the Autoexec.bat from Drive A.)

YES:    (Tells the computer to execute the Autoexec.bat file from Drive A.  
        If none exists, the computer uses the Autoexec.bat in the ROM.)

DISKETTE DRIVE DESIGNATION:

Select the drive from which your computer is to boot.

INTERNAL:  (The computer boots from the built-in Drive A.)

EXTERNAL:  (The computer boots from your external drive.  If you select 
           External, your external drive is now Drive A, and your built-in
           drive is now Drive B.  If you have two internal drives and an
           external drive, your external drive is now Drive A, and your
           built-in drive is now Drive C.)

MS-DOS COUNTRY CODE:

symbol and the time and date display.
