CONFIGURING ACME

Acme.exe is the same (mostly) as emu(1) so the command line arguments are the same (except for -I). Acme.exe reads the EMU environment variable for options first, then processes the command line options.

If no dis command is given on the command line to Acme.exe then the default command is 'sh -l', see sh(1). The -l option will cause the shell to run as a login shell, which means it first runs the file /lib/sh/profile, and then lib/profile if that file exists.

/lib/sh/profile is mostly concerned with making sure a home directory exists for the current user, then changing to that directory, so the lib/profile in that users directory will be run.

It is your $home/lib/profile where most of the action is. It sets up various things, namespace, factotum, environment variables (e.g. for fonts), and finally it launches acme.

If you want to change the arguments that start the actual acme editor then edit your $home/lib/profile.

If you want to change the command line arguments the Acme.exe, the emulator, then either modify EMU environment var, or on Nt create a shortcut, modify its properties changing the command line with the options you want.

Also, edit $home/lib/profile if you want to add more things to your namespace at startup.
