                      INVOKING NEWKEYSP\
\
\
  Newkeysp's functions may be invoked in one of two ways:\
\
     1.  Type Newkeysp, press enter and a menu of options will be\
  displayed.\
\
     2.  Type Newkeysp plus a parameter and Newkeysp will perform the\
  requested function and return to DOS.  This option is particularly\
  useful in a batch file invoked at system initialization.\
\
     The best way to familiarize yourself with Newkeysp's functions is\
  to call it up and try out the various menu options.  The batch file\
  "example.bat" contains many examples of using Newkeysp in batch files.\
\

                           END OF TOUR\
\
      This ends the Newkey tour.  We hope that you find Newkey\
  a powerful new tool which will enhance your productivity\
  and make life with your PC a lot easier.\
\
      Newkey offers many more features and options.  You will have many\
  more questions.  You will find the Newkey manual a valuable aid in\
  untapping Newkey's power and best customizing it to meet your needs and\
  hardware/software configuration.\
\
      If you are not a registered user we urge you to order the latest\
  copy.  As a registered user you will receive:\
\
   - The latest version of Newkey\
   - A version wihch does not display the evaluation notice screen\
   - A printed manual covering the many features not demonstrated in\
     this tour\
   - Telephone and written support\
   - Notification of new versions\

                         EXIT TOUR\
\
\
      Since this tour does not run under a program, the simplest way to\
  exit is to just continue on your way and do what you want.  Since\
  several function keys and others have been redefined, you will probably\
  want to return to their native meanings.  This may be done in two ways:\
\
    - Press CTRL 6.  This will deactivate Newkey completely.\
\
    - Press ALT C.  This will invoke Newkeysp to clear the current key\
      definitions from memory leaving Newkey active, but with all key\
      definitions completely purged.\
\
      To reclaim the memory Newkey has reserved you can re-boot by\
  pressing ALT-CTRL-DEL simultaneously.\
\
      To retake portions of the tour just press the appropriate\
  function key.  Press ALT D for a tour directory.\
\
       Press ALT H for help.

                            WELCOME TO NEWKEY\
\
             A POWERFUL MACRO PROCESSOR FOR THE IBM PC\
\
       This starts a guided tour which will introduce you to many\
  of Newkey's powerful features.  We will show you how to take control\
  of your keyboard and make your software easier to use.\
\
      This tour uses Newkey macros extensively.  In fact every thing you\
  are reading has been generated from macros.  This tour does not use a\
  program.  You will be operating under DOS the whole time.\
\
\
                             What is a Macro?\
\
       A macro is any sequence of keystrokes which are assigned to a\
  particular key.  These allow customization of software packages,\
  keyboard redefinition, creation of boiler plate passages, and other\
  useful purposes.  Macros will also be called key definitions or\
  translations in this demonstration.\
\
      Lets start by defining a macro.  Press F2 to continue.\

                   OTHER NEWKEY FEATURES\
\
\
       In addition to the features already demonstrated Newkey provides\
  several other features including:\
\
     - Full featured macro editor\
     - Load and save macro files\
     - Define macros within macros\
     - Error correction during key definition\
     - Recursion detection during key definition and playback\
     - Ability to change the macro buffer size at Newkey loading\
     - Macro may call itself\
     - Slow typing mode\
     - Extended keyboard buffer\
     - Speedup keyboard repetition rate\
     - Screen saver\
     - Defining status line\
     - Cancel Newkey processing during playback or definition\

                         DEFINING A MACRO\
\
  1.  Press the ALT = key.  This will cause a window to open prompting\
  you to enter the key you wish to define.\
\
  2.  Press the key you wish to define.\
\
  3.  Now you will be asked to type in a description.  When you are done\
  done press the enter key to continue.  At this point the window will\
  close, a help line will displayed, and the cursor will become a block.\
\
  4.  Now enter the keystrokes you want the key to represent.\
\
  5.  Press ALT - to end the definition.\
\
      A macro may be defined at anytime, whether in a program or DOS.\
  Newkey will save your keystrokes and then pass them on.  Your program\
  will not even know that Newkey exists!\
\
       Now lets define a macro consisting of your first name and place\
  it in ALT N.  Follow the above steps.\
\
      Are you finished?  Press F3 to continue, ALT H for help.

                      NESTED KEY DEFINITIONS\
\
       How did I know your name?  This is an example of nested key\
  definition.  Now that you have placed your name in ALT N, whenever\
  Newkey finds ALT N in a macro it will return your name instead of ALT N.
\
\
      Nested key definition means that Newkey will check each key in a\
  to see if it has its own macro assigned to it.  Newkey will check to\
  a depth of 8 levels.\
\
       Nested key definitions are very useful in many instances.  For\
  example, you can develop a set of macros designed to operate on a file\
  designated by the ALT F key.\
\
       Then, when you start a session on your PC, you can define ALT F\
  equal to the file name you are working on and with 1 keystroke invoke\
  your editor, bring up the file in edit mode and reset default editor\
  modes.  1 keystroke might also print the file, copy it from 1 disk to\
  another, or save it from ram disk to floppy and return to your current\
  position without leaving your editor.\
\
       Press F4 to continue, ALT H for help.

                 VARIABLE LENGTH FILL-IN-THE-BLANKS\
\
\
       Newkey provides you with the ability to define variable length\
  fill-in-the-blanks fields within key translations.  When one of these\
  is encountered in a key translation, Newkey will stop translation and\
  wait for you to enter any keystrokes you wish.  Newkey will continue\
  to accept keystrokes until the enter key is pressed when normal\
  translation will continue.  To define a variable length\
  fill-in-the-blanks field follow these steps:\
\
     1.  Press CTRL [.  The cursor will change from a full block to half\
     block with its bottom missing.\
\
     2.  Enter whatever keystrokes you wish.\
\
     3.  Press CTRL [.  The cursor will change back to a full block.\
\
       This is very useful in situations where you need to enclose a\
  field which varies in length with repetitive text.\
\
       Press ALT 1 for a demonstration of a variable length field.\

              FIXED LENGTH FILL-IN-THE-BLANKS\
\
\
       Newkey provides you with the ability to define fixed length\
  fill-in-the-blanks fields within key translations.  When one of these\
  is encountered in a key translation, Newkey will stop translation and\
  wait for you to enter a predefined number of keystrokes.  Newkey\
  will accept keystrokes until the predefined number is reached when\
  normal translation will continue.  To define a fixed length\
  fill-in-the-blanks field follow these steps:\
\
     1.  Press ctrl ].  The cursor will change from a full block to half\
     block with its top missing.\
\
     2.  Enter whatever keystrokes you wish.\

       Newkey may be deactivated/activated by pressing ctrl 6.  This acts\
  as toggle switching Newkey from one status to another.  When\
  deactivated Newkey is still resident in memory but it will act as if\
  the normal keyboard interrupt is in control.\

                      NEWKEY'S POP-UP FUNCTIONS
\
       Most Newkey functions can be done using through the dynamic\
  display/update features (also known as newkey's pop-up features).\
  Without leaving your current program, Newkey will save your current\
  screen, present you with a menu of options and, when you are done,\
  restore your screen just where you left off.\
\
      Functions available include:\
\
      - Display directory and descriptions\
      - Load and save macro files\
      - Edit macros\
      - Display/update control keys\
      - Cut and paste\
      - Display/execute macro commands\
\
  These functions are not available in the Newkeysm.exe program saving\
  24K in memory.\
\
       Press ALT / and play around,\
       Be careful not to clear memory.\

                        SHORTHAND MODE\
\
\
       When in shorthand mode Newkey watches your keystrokes as you type\
  and when they match the name of a multi-character macro, replaces\
  your macro name with the multi-character macro.  No special hot key to\
  enter, no wasted keystrokes.  For example, if "ne" is defined as\
  "Newkey" then:\
\
       typing                 yields\
       ------                 ------\
