Generally, the
four shown work fine.
The Edit Options determine how you interact with the command window. Check the QuickEdit
Mode when you want to use the mouse to work with the entries directly. The only problem with
using this feature is that it can interfere with some commands such as
Edit
that have a mouse interface
of their own. The Insert Mode option lets you paste text into the command window without
replacing the text currently there. For example, you might copy some information from a Windows
application and paste it as an argument for a command.
Changing the Font
The Font tab shown in Figure 2.4 controls the font used to display text. The font size automatically
changes when you resize the window, but you can also control the font size directly using this tab.
The raster fonts give the typical command line font appearance that works well for most quick
tasks. The Lucida Console font works better in a windowed environment. It??™s easier on the eyes
because it??™s smoother, but you might find that some applications won??™t work well with it if they create
???text graphics??? using some of the extended ASCII characters. The extended ASCII characters
include corners and lines that a developer can use to draw boxes and add visual detail.
