35.1 Overview
Configuration files define the NXC’s settings. Shell scripts are files of commands
that you can store on the NXC and run when you need them. You can apply a
configuration file or run a shell script without the NXC restarting. You can store
multiple configuration files and shell script files on the NXC. You can edit
configuration files or shell scripts in a text editor and upload them to the NXC.
Configuration files use a .conf extension and shell scripts use a .zysh extension.

Configuration Files and Shell Scripts
When you apply a configuration file, the NXC uses the factory default settings for
any features that the configuration file does not include. When you run a shell
script, the NXC only applies the commands that it contains. Other settings do not
change.
