Re: onconfig parameters

First of all, it's a "Cupie" doll, and secondly, there's no way to do EVERYTHING you want, but you _can_ get most of it. But it's not 100% straightforward. If you do an 'oncheck -pr' that will give you most of the shared-memory type parameters, along with scads of other stuff. Other things, like tape parameters and the like, it always checks the ONCONFIG file every time it's needed, so it's not stored in the reserved pages anywhere. Cupie doll, please! Thomas G.
