Title: Startup Sequence question
Post by: barney on May 24, 2009, 08:50:37 PM

I was looking at the startup sequence file and wanted to change somthing without deleting it.  Is there a command equivalent to "REM" as used with AUTOEXEC.BAT AND CONFIG.SYS that can be used in the startup sequence file.  I want my Amiga to ignore a specific line in startup sequence without having to delete it.  Thanks

Put a semicolon at the beginning of the line and it will be ignored.

Do I need a space after the semicolon?

You can, but you don't need to.

You can also put the semicolon into the middle of the line. Everything on the right of the semicolon will be ignored as comment.

For example if you want to disable a parameter but keep it in mind for later reactivation you can do it like this:

setpatch quiet ; skipromupdate "scsi.device"
