This command specifies updates to an OS/2 INI system configuration file and performs in a similar manner to the DDINSTAL :OS2_INI keyword. However, it is more general in nature than DDINSTAL because it can be used to specify updates to any OS/2 INI file (such as OS2.INI or OS2SYS.INI).

Like its DDINSTAL counterpart, the DSPINSTL :INI command line is followed by a set of INI line entries, which are to be placed in the configuration file. However, the first line following the :OS2INI command line specifies the complete path name of the OS/2 INI file to be modified. Like the :FILES command, the optional drive specification within the complete path name is always overridden by the system's startup drive. If only a simple OS/2 INI file name is specified, the \OS2 directory on the system's startup drive is assumed.

The following example illustrates the DSP file command lines that can follow the :OS2INI keyword command line:

    :OS2INI  :MODE=PRIMARY
    OS2.INI
    PM_DISPLAYDRIVERS IBMVGA32 IBMVGA32
    PM_DISPLAYDRIVERS CURRENTDRIVER IBMVGA32
