Yes, I knew that. There had to be some bugs for you guys to find :)
I'll fix this.

Yep. I will post some info on the page later about commands.
In general, the config file is nothing more than a "run script". That is,
everything that is in the chezzz.cfg file will be "executed" on the Chezzz
prompt after certain initializings have taken place. Among these is hash setup
etc. So if you put
hash 128M in your chezzz.cfg, it will first create a 8M (default) table at
startup, then recreate the 128M when executing the cfg file.
This sceme is crude but it works for now. It means that you can write all sorts
of things in you cfg file, even things that doesn't make sense at that moment,
or maybe even things that crashes the program.
But the main idea of releasing Chezzz on my part is to have people telling my
what they think is wrong and what they want, as I go along, instead of me having
to guess the best way to do things. So comments such as yours are ...
preciousssss to me.
