Manage - BDM.INI

In your BDM.INI file is a switch titled [jnl] that has an item titled-editor. If you want you can replace (or add) the text editor of your choice. A text editor that comes with your computer is called EDIT.EXE and is available for use. So, to activate an editor you can write the switch line like this...

[jnl]

editor=tde.exe (leave no spaces on either side of the equal sign)

When you start BDM and select Manage BDM.INI-you will have access to modify any setting that you desire. If you change an item, it will be automatically updated after the edit. Some items may appear to have been skipped because of how the screen gets painted, but the system will be adjusted accordingly and everything will appear normal the next time you start the program.

If you elect not to enable the editor, then an INTernal viewer (default) will only show you what’s in the .INI file.
