This is mine. I anonymised some details:
set httpproxy on
set httpproxyhost www%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
set httpproxyport 8080
sysdir set PERSONAL d:/njc/ado/personal
sysdir set PLUS d:/njc/ado/plus
sysdir set OLDPLACE d:/njc/ado
set scheme s1color
To be fair, the -set type double- is contentious, as a detailed
reading of that thread will show.
There was a more recent thread of the same kind. All I can remember is
that it was sparked by someone who briefly sent several posts to the
list, then disappeared. Maarten Buis and I were among those who
replied. Unfortunately, searching the archives for "double" "Buis"
"Cox" is not very effective.
