Creating Additional Configuration Groups 

Any number of system configurations can be created and maintained as long
as they are assigned different group names.  If a group name is not
specified, the default group name (usually CONFIG.SYS) is the group used
to boot the system.  The system always looks for this group unless
instructed otherwise.

Additional configuration groups must be named groupname, and groupname 
cannot be CONFIG.

Creating an Alternate Configuration Group 

To create an alternate configuration group, enter:

     :SYSGEN basegroup, newgroup 

If a basegroup is not specified, CONFIG.SYS is used by default.  For
example:

     :SYSGEN ,newgroup 

creates a duplicate of CONFIG named newgroup.  You can modify this group
using any of the various configurators and the HOLD command before you
exit each configurator.

Saving the Alternate Configuration Group 

To save the alternate configuration group, enter:

     sysgen>KEEP 

The new group specified in the sysgen> command is kept, or you may
explicitly state the group name.  For example:

     sysgen>KEEP newgroup
