appropriate code and the extension “.com” are added to the user file name entered

Configuring user alarm texts
If alarm and message texts are created externally, they must be produced with the
code pages, ANSI tables, and fonts listed in the tables below.
The alarm and message texts are stored in the MBDDE alarm texts directory.
1. Convert the old text file to an ANSI text file using "Save As…" in the Windows
Editor (WinWord, Notepad, etc.).
2. Load the new text file and converted old text file into the Windows editor and
merge them.
