palmpythonconfig1

Usage

Overview

This program sets up the configuration files and data directories used by PalmPython (and possibly other PalmPilot-related utilities). When run, it prompts for a few required values, and writes the configuration file. At most prompts, you can enter '?' to get more information about a particular setting.

With the -s option, palmpythonconfig sets up the system-wide configuration file and data directory, and thus should be run as root. Otherwise, it sets up a configuration file and data directory in the current user's home directory.

This program will try to do the right thing if the configuration file and/or data directory already exist, editing the existing option values.
