Configuring MUTT(tm) LiteThese missing features include menus and dialogs for configuring MUTT(tm) options. This document describes how these options may be manually set by editing the MUTT.INI file.
MUTT(tm) Lite automaticaly creates this file when the app is run the first time.
These configuration settings may be altered by editing this file. It is recommended that you make a backup of this file before you begin making changes.
MUTT.INI is broken up into several sections, each responsible for a different group of settings. The following describes these sections.
host_addr records your IP address. Each time your IP address changes, you will see MUTT(tm)'s info screen. On some SLIP/PPP accounts, your IP address will consistently change, so you will always be presented with an info screen at startup.
log_file defines which file is used as the default for logging mud activity. This can be set via the "Log Conversation..." item on the main File menu.
echo_sends may be set to 1 or 0. If set to 1, all typed entry will be echoed to the display window; 0 disables this feature. This can be set via the "Echo Sends" item on the main File Menu.
cmd_prefix determines what character is used as the command prefix. The command prefix is used to distinguish between typed commands and text that should be sent to the mud host. This may be set to any decimal ASCII value between 33 and 126. The default is ";" (59).
window=name,height,width,weight
where "window" is the window that the font is associated with, "name" is
the name of the font, "height" is the height in pixels, "width" is the
width in pixels and "weight" is 1-9, with 1 being the lightest and 9 the
heaviest. A value of 0 indicates that you don't care what the attribute is.
For most muds, fixed-width fonts, like "courier" and "terminal" are the best. You may achieve better display time with raster fonts, as opposed to TrueType fonts, although TrueType fonts will generally look better at certain screen resolutions.
The send window font is currently the only supported font setting; it is used in MUTT(tm) Lite to define both the command and display windows.
position=x,y,width,heigth
maximize=state
where "x,y" is the upper left corner of the window and "width" is the normal
width of the window and "heigth" is the normal heigth of the window. The
maximize "state" is either 0 or 1 - 1 indicates that the window should be
maximized to fill your screen; 0 indicates that the app will use the "position"
settings.
position=x,y,width,heigth
maximize=state
where "x,y" is the upper left corner of the window and "width" is the normal
width of the window and "heigth" is the normal heigth of the window. The
maximize "state" is either 0 or 1 - 1 indicates that the window should be
maximized to fill your screen; 0 indicates that the app will use the "position"
settings.
placement=x,y
where "x,y" is the upper left corner of the window.
