Re: Stoopid Question

Hi,

No that syntax fails - you get a screen full of question marks and the
phrase "unkown option" [sic]:
elilo.sourcearchive.com/documentation/3.12-2/config_8c-source.html

Worse than the alternative spelling of unknown (shades of KellyAnne Conway)
you get a fractured version of interactive mode which produces a fatal if
you press any key.

I don't think elilo is ready for primetime yet - intel/hp never really
sanded off the rough edges. It does work, and you can specify a text
message with this: message=message.txt but it's bare bones. To be fair you
can code a lisp like menu but that's tedious. No splash banner I guess.

Thanks tho for the reply!
