config.xml stores some advanced configuration options for PN.

The <userSettings> element defines where PN should store the settings files it creates to store user options. By default this element is not defined, but it can be used to make PN portable (i.e. not store settings in the normal system "Documents and Settings" folder). If you wanted, for example, to store settings in the "settings" folder on the memory stick you are running PN from, you can use this element like so: <userSettings path="settings"/>

By default, PN stores a number of settings in the registry for fast access. If you want to use an INI file instead, then you can use the <storeType> element to choose this: <storeType value="Ini"/>

Each extension is registered with PN using an <extension> element. This element can specify either a fully-qualified path or a relative one to point to the dll to be loaded: <extension path="pypn.dll"/>

The following command line arguments can be used: ArgumentShort formMeaning --line x-l xGo to line x --col x-c xGo to column x --scheme name-s nameUse the named scheme (look in .scheme files to find the name) --allowmultiOverride configuration and allow multiple instances --checkassocCheck file associations --exitExit (used for spawned processes, listed for completeness) --resetReset user settings and interface settings (if your PN has gone wrong!) --safemodeRun PN without loading any extensions

You can write extensions for PN using C++ or using one of the scripting interfaces (like Python through PyPN). To get started visit the web site.
