ZDooM Question: Zoom function

[Jim Rainer]

I recently downloaded the Marine Assault PWAD, and in the readme it talks about adding a zoom function.

I highly recommend setting up some aliases to allow you to Zoom *
*in on your targets as if using a sniper weapon. The railgun was*
*included for this purpose and the main play arena was set up *
*with the ability to make long distance, accurate shots in mind. * *
* *
*If you have not set up a Zoom alias at your console, you may *
*like to use the one I have included. It will bind the Insert, *
*Home and Page up keys to different levels of Zoom and the End *
*key to resetting the view to normal. (Unless these keys are *
*already bound to something else). *
* *
*If you wish to use this, add +exec njma01.cfg to the *
*command line *
* *
*eg *
* *
* zdoom -file njma01.wad +exec njma01.cfg

There was no 'njma01.cfg' in the .zip file.
So basically, how do you do this?

I know how to add Zooming. I dont have the time to explain, but I know it was featured in this mod
