CONFIGURE allows you to customize HTBasic to more nearly match the configuration of an HP 9000 Series 200/300 computer and to alter the way the HTBasic environment works. Using CONFIGURE will allow many existing HP BASIC programs to run without alteration.
You can use theOptions|Run Environment menu from the program window to change the Run Environment. Any changes made to the Run Environment dialog box will appear in all programs when they are opened.
To set the Run Environment, select theOptions|Run Environment menu to display an Run Environment dialog box similar to that shown in Figure 9-1. To change an item, click the desired item on the configuration tab.
