You have two choices:
1) install a text editor in dos so you can change geos.ini from there, since in
Geos you cannot do it (it's already open!).
2) Or you can do a copy of geos.ini -->geos.bak (for example), then modify
geos.bak; go to dos and copy geos.bak to geos.ini.
If you don't want to use Dos, you have to do a copy of geos.ini and modify
autoexec.bat to tell it that before going to dos it must copy geos.bak to
geos.ini.
Obviously, it's easier the first method....
