User configuration

The boot_fs file has a user configuration section at the end, where default devices, windows and paths are configured.

QL devices

By default device dev4 is configured as path 1 for Forth sources, and therefore it must be configured in your QDOS or SMSQ/E system this way:

dev_use 4, "path_to_sfera_"

Also device nfa4, which is specific of the SMSQmulator emulator, is used as path 3.
