As far as I know, the Toolbox cannot be directed to use user-provided .cfg files but manages its own .tla and .cfg files, in particular for displaying error messages. When I use the Toolbox in a shared project, I also keep the .toolbox/Model_x directories under version control.

Ok, I see a bit better how to use the cfg files.
If I want to use both the command line and the toolbox in a project with a partner, is it sufficient to only have the version control track the .tla source file, the .cfg file but none of the files in the .toolbox directory? If so, how do I import that cfg file in the toolbox? On Sunday, April 17, 2016 at 9:42:01 AM UTC-4, Simon Hudon wrote: Thank you! I'll give it a read!

The details are described in "Specifying Systems" ( http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/lamport/tla/book.html), in particular Chapter 14. The Toolbox typically creates wrappers MC.tla and MC.cfg that extend the topmost TLA module provided by the user.

Thank you! That sounds like a good idea. That's also what I try to do. The directories that I'm referring to above are created automatically by the toolbox when I create a specification.
At the root of my directory, here are the files that I have: - Sem0_Prog.tla
- Sem0_Spec.tla
- Sem1_Prog.tla
- Sem1_Spec.tla
- Sem2_Prog.tla
- Sem2_Spec.tla
- Sem0_Prog.cfg
- Sem1_Prog.cfg
- Sem2_Prog.cfg
The cfg files have been created by the toolbox and the curious thing is that they were only created for half of my TLA+ specs: the half that contains PlusCal algorithms. Do you ever have to create or modify those cfg files manually?
