| You can also edit the configuration file manually. The configuration file, SlyEdit.cfg (located in the ''[[dir:ctrl]]'' directory), is a regular text file. It is split up into 3 sections - Behavior, Ice colors, and DCT colors. These sections are designated by [BEHAVIOR], [ICE_COLORS], and [DCT_COLORS], respectively. Each setting has a name=value format. Comments can be added on their own line starting with a ; (semicolon) character. The settings for SlyEdit.cfg are described below:\\ | You can also edit the configuration file manually.

| | dictionaryFilenames | A comma-separated list of filenames for dictionaries, for the spell checker feature. The filenames are in the format dictionary_<language>.txt, where <language> is the language name. For dictionaryFilenames, you can also just specify the language names if you want. The dictionary filenames will be looked for in sbbs/mods, sbbs/ctrl, and then the directory where SlyEdit.js is located. Note that the dictionary files must be sorted for proper word matching, and the words in the dictionary must be all lower-case, since SlyEdit does case-insensitive matching via all lower-cased words. This was added in version 1.64. | | | dictionaryFilenames | A comma-separated list of filenames for dictionaries, for the spell checker feature.
