Configuring BASIC-DOS

System Configuration

When BASIC-DOS starts, it automatically allocates enough memory for:

Up to 20 open files at a time
Up to 4 active sessions at a time

However, those limits, along with other default settings, can be changed through entries in a special file named CONFIG.SYS on your BASIC-DOS start-up diskette.

For example, if the following lines appear in CONFIG.SYS:

FILES=30
SESSIONS=8

then memory will be set aside for up to 30 simultaneous open files and up to 8 simultaneous active sessions.
