the Setup Dialog

 

According to your settings in the options dialog you can access the setup dialog
by choosing setup from the RUNit taskbar icon,
from the "RUNit- launch menu" or by doing the "CRTL-SHIFT-RIGHT MOUSE click".

You can also access the setup dialog by pressing 's' on your keyboard
whenever the "RUNit launch menu" is visible (NEW in version 2.0.1).

a few things that needs to be mentioned:

  • there is no cancel button, so you have to know what you are doing
  • to add a file, you can also just DRAG'N DROP it to the list from explorer
    or from the desktop (or from the startmenu if you are using Windows 98)

  • you can pass commandline arguments in the Path editcontrol by separating
    them from the path by an asterisk.

    for example:

    c:\windows\notepad.exe*c:\autoexec.bat
    or: 
    c:\windows\notepad.exec:\autoexec.bat
    ... depending on your codepage.
