A good way to understand CFG files is to load the LW.CFG file into the editor. You
might also save the current configuration with <SHIFT+CTRL+Q>, giving it the name
TEST.CFG to see how any settings you have altered in the editor are reflected in the
CFG file. There’s nothing to stop you loading a CFG file into the editor and changing it
manually, although you should take care not to introduce syntax errors into the file.
Some settings

Note: Prior to version 3.0, LW configuration files were binary files and were edited

used as the drive number when cataloguing files using the disk menu.
DRIVE D1:
The above line simply sets the default drive to drive 1.
