Common information
Editor has a lot of settings. All settings are stored in text configuration files that are possible to copy from one computer to another. In MS Windows configuration files are saved in subdirectory with installed program, it's "C:\Programm Files\MultiTextor" by default. In UNIX systems configuration files are saved in "/etc/MultiTextor" subdirectory. There are two additional subdirectories inside one. They are a subdirectory "parse" for saving of syntax analyzer configuration files and a subdirectory "cfg" for saving of all other settings. While MultiTextor reinstalling or updating both one will copied to "save" subdirectory. You may to restore any setting manually from there. The main settings may be changed with configuration dialogues. Another ones are changed directly in configuration files only. After MultiTextor installation some configuration files are absent and editor uses the default settings. If need it's possible to create additional configuration files. Call "m -s" from command line for that. If you directly modify any configuration file editor must be restarted for applying changes. Creating of localization file is not described it's for advanced users only and must be tested very thoroughly.
