performs NeXtMidas configuration functions
<FUNC> String of one-letter operations indicating actions to take <OPT> Configuration option of the COMMANDS.CNF file [DEF=SYS] CONFIGURE performs functions relating to command and NeXtMidas configuration. Its most common use is to update the internal command configuration based on changes to the COMMANDS.CNF files. The desired functions are specified as single characters. More than one function can be specified. The possible functions are listed here in the order they are performed. K - Clear in-memory commands dictionary C - Command merge of COMMANDS.CNF file The C, or Commands, function reads in a COMMANDS.CNF file from the CFG area of the indicated option, and merges it with the in-memory dictionary. Whenever a command in the configuration file matches one in memory, the one in the file supersedes the one in memory. You can use the MENU command to view non-baseline commands; they are followed with a semicolon and the name of the option where they are defined. The configuration files are normally updated and maintained by the UPDATE command; note that UPDATE automatically calls CONFIGURE whenever you update a command. The Midas environment in NeXtMidas is initialized by the nxm.sys.lib.Shell class and the system NMSTARTUP.MM macro in the cfg area. If NMSTARTUP.MM exists in the LOGIN area, this is executed as well.
