 text editor and edit parameter you wish. All the colors are written in
 the form of rrggbb, where r is red, g is green and b is blue in the
 hexadecimal form. For example, 0000ff - it is blue, ffffff - it is
 white and 00ff00 - it is green.
  In first line there is language - EN or RU. In second and third -
 there are width and height of window,
 in fourth and fiveth - coordinates of upper left corner of the window -
 on vertical and horizontal. In sixth, seventh and eights strings there
 are colors of window, font and font background, accordingly. In the next
 two - name and size of the font. Then amount of memorizing commands.
 There is no need to edit twelveth string. After it - code page -
 850, 1250 or 1252 for English, or 866 and 1251
 for Russian. Code pages before 1000 are used by DOS applications, after
 that - by Windows applications. It is restricted to change code page

 it only through options file. GS version is able to handle correctness of
 commands - in simple Lovely Tiny Console - there is need to remember about
 it.
  Associations of bat and com files with Lovely Tiny Console are enabled
