Abstract
A graphical interface for generating configuration files. Many computer programs require configuration files. These files specify parameters which the program will use. One example of a parameter is the resolution of a video display, which the program will use to display output. The invention provides a graphical interface which allows a user to select parameters from menus, and test the generated configuration file. In one form of the invention, speech synthesis of break-out instructions are provided during testing.
