Re: [mh] Newbie Setup Help

[David N. <dno...@ya...>]

That isn't the best solution because you will have to remember to replace 
that file everytime you upgrade to a new release.  It's best not to modify 
any files under \misterhouse\mh to make upgrades easy.

I'm not running on windows, but I think all you do is create a new 
c:\autoexec.bat file with the following contents:

set mh_parms=c:/misterhouse/mh.private.ini

then restart.  Maybe someone running windows can confirm this.
