Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     Tags divide the TOOLS.INI file into sections. PWB recognizes only
     those statements associated with a PWB tag. When you start PWB,
     the tagged sections are loaded in a specific order.
     See: ◄PWB Loading Sequence►
 
     Usually, you list editor assignments and macro definitions after
     the [PWB] tag. When you save a key assignment, editor setting, or
     recorded macro, PWB puts the new definition in this section unless
     PWB knows that the definition belongs to a specific extension.
     See: ◄Macro Recording► ◄Options menu, Colors►
          ◄Options menu, Editor Settings►
          ◄Options menu, Key Assignments►
 
     You can also define the following types of tagged sections:
 
     ◄File-Extension Tags►
          Statements loaded according to the file's extension when you
          switch to a file.
 
     ◄Manually Loaded Tags►
          Statements loaded by passing an argument to the Initialize
          function («initialize»).
          See: Initialize
 
     ◄Operating-System Tags►
          Statements specific to an operating environment that are
          loaded at startup.
 
     ◄PWB Extension Tags►
          Statements specific to a PWB extension appear in a section
          tagged with the base name of the extension's executable file.
          For example, Browse settings appear after the [PWB-PWBROWSE]
          tag, and Help settings appear after the [PWB-PWBHELP] tag.
