Hi Dave,

Could you please explain this in very simple English so I can do 
something similar? What are you trying to accomplish? What is in 
runtime_config.txt, both from the content point of view and from the 
format point of view?

This looks to me like it might solve a problem I was asking about a 
few days ago.

Thanks
