`1 STARTUP
To operate KEYhole you will need a few files. These files are created with the
program KEYfig.
The Config program will create the following;
KEYhole.CFG
KEYchain.KEY
REPORT.FRM
SHOPPING.LST
KEYhole.cfg contains the Editor of choice, The default page length of a Printed
page, the Communication Port of your Modem, (can be 1-2) the Text and highlight
colors.
KEYchain.key contains a list of 15 information file names and the Drive/path
where the information files will be found. KeyChain is the default filename.
REPORT.FRM contains the default filename for the Report Generator utility.
SHOPPING.LST contains the default filename for the Shopping List utility.
COMMAND LINE SYMBOLS:
Keyhole ! -------- Will bring up Keyhole with the MEMO search. Loading the
default KeyFile KEYCHAIN.KEY
Keyhole !BAKERY -- Will bring up Keyhole with MEMO search. Loading the
Keyfile BAKERY.KEY
Keyhole BAKERY --- Will bring up KEyhole without MEMO search. Loading the
Keyfile BAKERY.KEY
Keyhole ---------- Will bring up Keyhole without MEMO search. Loading the
default Keyfile KEYCHAIN.KEY
~
`2 CONTROL SYMBOLS
There are EIGHT(8) control symbols to be found in a INF file. They are;
$ & @ % | ` - ~
The first Four are your FILE TYPE DESIGNATORS $ & @ %
The 2nd Four are CONTROL SYMBOLS | ` - ~
The ($)Symbol must appear in the first column of the first line
The ($) symbol is used to designate the filetype as a LIST file, that is a
file that is neither a Communications nor a Catalog file. But instead just
a list of related or unrelated information. In KEY search MODE you can
extract to Screen, File or to the Printer the list of terms,phrases that
match your KEY word. An example of this type of file would be BY_ARTIST.INF.
This file requires no other symbols to function
*************
The (&)Symbol must appear in the first column of the first line
The (&) symbol is used to designate the filetype as a CHART or INSTRUCT file,
You must use the EOF symbol in this type of file to designate the end of the
record. This type of file is only read through the KEY search function. Some
Examples of this type of file is the Documentation for KEYhole - '(HELP).INF'.
Another example would be the HOW_HOT file or the CALORIE file. This will
most likly not be an over used file type, but I've found good uses for it.
************
The (@)Symbol must appear in the first column of the first line
The (@) symbol is used to designate the filetype as a Communication/Modem file.
The file Dialer.INF shows the set up. If you lose this file then use the
following structure. THIS IS A FORMATTED FILE. You must set the file up this
way!
Example;
@ NAME (1-29) Phone (30-44) Address (45-120)
|----------------------------v--------------v---------------------------------
(This must be the first two lines of file )
Then it's just a point of lining the input with the columns
***********
The (%)Symbol must appear in the first column of the first line
The (%) synbol is used to designate the filetype as a CATALOG file, that is a
file that uses the symbols ` and ~
The ` symbol is used at the begining of a RECORD TITLE : ie `Baked Ham
The ~ symbol is used at the ending of a RECORD and is to be
placed in the first column of the line following the last
line of a record.
Look at one of the files (HELP).INF and CALORIE.INF they demonstrate the two
most common .INF uses.
The (HELP).INF file is a Catalog file.
The Definitions begin with the symbol ` in the first column preseding the
definition title. This is the Title symbol and must be used in conjunction
with the symbols % and ~
ie.
%
| This file is a CATALOG FILETYPE but you can use it like a CHART/INSTRUCT
| FILETYPE
|
| Each line may be up to 255 charactrers in length.

`1 STARTUP
To operate KEYhole you will need a few files. These files are created with the
program KEYfig.
The Config program will create the following;
~
Or by entering a (K)eyword and then typing in; 1
In either case only the called for message would appear on the screen. In
(C)atalog you have the option of relisting the definition, recipe or whatever
by entering an (L). With (K)eyword the definition will scroll down screen but
will only allow one viewing of information at a call.
(C)atalog:
If you've chosen (C) then you'll have an indexed listing of all the titles in
the files. You can;
F1 - Relist index file
F10 - QUIT
If you select F1 it will relist the Index. In other words if you're on page 2
or 3 of the Index and you want to see what's on page one again, hit F1 and the
listing will start over again 1-15
If you select F10 you will be returned to the MAIN MENU where you can select
a new file to view.
Enter the number of the record you wish to view or enter the DOT command
and number ie. .34 and then hit return. On the right side of the screen
a window will appear with these choices;
(1) To Screen
(2) Create Report Form
(3) Send to PRN
(4) Create Shopping List
If you select (1) the record will be sent to screen where you can view it
useing the PgUp and PgDn keys. Enter ESC to quit.
If you select (2) it will first ask you for a Filename to create your Report
under, or you may use the Default listed in the file REPORT.FRM which was
created when you ran the KEYFIG program. The RECORD will be written to
the filename you selected.
You may then exit that file useing F10 and select a new CATALOG file and
continue constructing your REPORT.
If you select (3) the record will be sent to your print device. If record
is longer than default page length a formfeed is issued to your printer.
After print is finished a form feed is issued to your printer.
If you select (4) it will first ask you for a Filename to create your List
under, or you may use the Default listed in the file SHOPING.LST which was
created when you ran the KEYFIG program. The record wil be written to the
filename you selected.
Occasionally the SHOPING List will write beyond the EOF symbol for the
End Of Ingredients -
When this happens the most common cause is that the line preceding or
the line with the symbol - or the line immediately following the Symbol
line will be longer than 80 characters.
I've instituted some safe guards but every once in a while it'll just not
work. I'm working to solve this problem and hopefully in the next version
I'll have it licked...
(SPECIAL NOTE: You must have placed the EOF symbol for the ingredients List for
this function to work. The Symbol is - This symbol must be on
the last line following the ingredients in Column one.)
The (HELP).INF file demonstrates the fact that the control symbols are not
always needed. (HELP).INF is an INSTRUCT file. You can only access it through
scrolling with the spacebar or useing the (K)eyword.
Although if you like you can make (HELP).INF a Catalog File which would allow
you the ability of Forward and reverse scrolling.
You can Import any type of ASCII record into KEYHOLE. You need use only one
of the four control symbols($ @ % &). This will designate the file type.
In the HOWTO.INF and the (HELP).INF files the ~ symbol is used. In a Catalog
file the ~ symbol must be used. This is the EOF symbol for a record. But
you may also use it when no other symmbol is being utilized to stop a record
in a specfic location during a read. As for example in the next line. Stopping
the topic at the end.
The (|)Symbol may be used throughout a file but must be placed in the first
column of the line.
The | symbol is used to designate a COMMENT statment. That is a Statement
that will not appear when you view a file but is none-the-less there. You
use it to leave notes for yourself, descriptions of how your information
is set up. Remember in the viewed file these Lines will not appear.
The Rule to useing the | symbol is to place it before a Record Heading or
before the Record Title line ie;
1 STARTUP
`Corn Chowder
It doesn't matter if you place the | symbol before your FILE TYPE DESIGNATOR
or even have the FTD embeded within your Comment Lines
~
`3 MAIN MENU
After you've loaded KEYhole you will be presented with a screen that has on the
left side a column of words which represent the INFORMATION files you placed
in the .KEY file that you created with the program KEYfig. The first fifteen
entries are the Information files. The CATALOG, COMMAND LINE and the HELP
entry will always appear in the last three space of the Box.
Useing the cursor keys you can select the File you want to study by placeing
the lighted bar on that file and hitting (enter). Or you may select CATALOG,
COMMAND LINE or HELP.
CATALOG:
Run the cursor down to CATALOG. Hit the return key and up pops the Catalog Menu.
Select a KEY file and hit the return key.
COMMAND:
Run the cursor down to COMMAND. Hit the return key. A Blue line will appear.
You may;
Enter any DOS command. Run any program (as long as memory is there).
Enter a '?' mark and a window will appear with the commands that can be
used on the Command Line
Enter F1 and you can view the file 'TODAYS.MSG' Which was extracted from
the file SCHEDULE.INF file if you had an Event Listed in the file.
You Utilitize SCHEDULE by useing the ! command line statement when
booting up KEYhole. ie KEYhole !
Enter F2 and you will be queried for a PATH (drive + Directory)
DEFAULT PATH is the current directory
Important note: the PATH must be entered so that the directory has
a back slash before and after the entry. ie D:\KEYHOLE\
Hit (ENTER) and you'll be queried for a FILE MASK (*.* or *.RPT)
DEFAULT MASK is *.*
Hit (ENTER) and a window will appear alongside the MAIN MENU window
with a listing of the files you selected.
Use the cursor bar to select a file.
Hit <ENTER> a small window will appear to the right. It will Query you as
to whether you want to;
Copy the file
Delete the file
Print the file
View the file
Execute the file
If you select COPY - A Red line will appear at the bottom of the screen
with the location and name of the file you want to copy. And right below
the Red line a Blue line will appear with the Query TO
it is here that you place the Drive+directory and if you want to change
the name of the file, you place the filename. ie
Copy D:\RECIPES\BAKERY\CORNBRE.INF
TO C:\TELIX\UPLOAD
or
Copy D:\RECIPES\BAKERY\CORNBRE.INF
TO C:\TELIX\UPLOAD\CORNBRE.TXT
If you select DELETE - A Red line will appear at the bottom of the screen
asking you if you're sure you want to DELETE the file. Say Y and the file
will be deleted, say no and you'll be returned to the Command line. ie
Default is No
ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DELETE >>REDROVER.TXT<< y/N
If you select PRINT - The filename that your cursor rests on will be sent
to the Printer.
There is a degree of control over the PRINT job. After the Default line number
has been reached a Blue line will apear at the bottom of the screen,asking
you whether you want to do a;
FormFeed
LineFeed
Continue Printing
Non-Stop Printing
Quit
If you select VIEW - The filename that your cursor rests on will be sent to
the File Editor listed in your Config file.
(you can't send a EXE, COM, or BAT file to be edited. There is an override
built in)
If you select EXECUTE - At the bottom of the screen a red line will appear
On this line you are to put a Command line statememt, if any(can leave blank)
You Selected the file EXTRACT.EXE (you can load Extract with a CL statement)
:CATADATA.DAT
Hit (ENTER) and the file with command line if any will be sent to Shell
If you should make a mistake will useing the command line mode. Say like
putting in a PATH or MASK that doesn't exist, then just hit ESC.
Enter F3 and whatever you used the Command Line Mode for last time will
be repeated
Enter F4 and you will enter the KEYhole DOS Shell
HELP:
Will open the (HELP).INF file. You can read the Docs either by scrolling
through them useing the spacebar or by entering the whole or partial part
of a Topic record.
EXIT will close and Lock all doors in KEYhole
~
`4 TOPICS window
You've selected a RECORD from the MAIN MENU.
Useing (HELP).INF as a choice. A window will appear; Called TOPICS window
This window can be created using most ASCII editors or a Screen generator that
saves in ASCII. Or you can use the Box that was included with the KEYHOLE
package. The use of this window/box is optional and serves to enhance and
provide a Table of contents for the file. As in the file SCHEDULE.INF you can
see that stacking the TOPICS window is also another angle to pursue. Prehaps
in the next version of KEYhole I'll make it possible to use embeded Sub-TOPICs
windows.
TOPICS windows :
Look on this box as your scratch pad. You can identfy the Records of your
file or if useing file for Recipes you can enter your favorite recipe names
for quick access. Or as in the SCHEDULE.INF you can use it for displaying
instructions. When creating a new file clone the BOX file or append it to an
existing file in a dos command, or Import through your ascii editor.
INSIDE KEYHOLE:
Two lines beneath the TOPICS window you will see;
(K)eyword (C)atalog (E)ditor spBAR=MORE (P)rint <filename>
and at the top of the screen;
The Date: (D)os Shell ESC=QUIT
if your in a Telecom file you'll see at the top of the screen;
The Date: (N)otepad (C)alender ESC=QUIT
(K)eyword: A window will appear on the right and query you for output device.
Select;
S for screen
F for send record to file
P for send record to printer
Make your selection
The keyphrase or word or partial part of a word or phrase. The
Search will only look at words starting in the 1st column and
begins reading from 1 -> end of phrase. In other words it will
not look for a Word inside another phrase. example:
You enter the KEYWORD: main menu
Keysearch will look at words and phrases starting in column one throughout the
file. It is not a CASE sensitive search.
Matching on the Word or Phrase MAIN MENU:
If the search finds no matching response it will flash a message that that word
or phrase is not in the LIST.
(C)atalog: If the File is set with the proper control symbols you will be
able to acess the file as an INDEXED catalog. If the File is
missing the % symbol the (C)atalog option will not appear in
the TOPIC MENU option line
REFER to CONTROL SYMBOLS for options in CATALOG
(E)ditor: This will bring up the editor chosen in KEYHOLE.CFG loading the
current File. You may add or change what you like. When you exit
your editor you will be brought back to the TOPICS window.
(P)rint: Will send the current file to your Print device. The first thing
you will be queried as to whether you want to keep your default
Page Length as set in KEYHOLE.CFG or change it to a greater or
lesser amount. Then the number of lines as set by default or by
new number will print to device. When it has reached that number
it will query you as to whether you want to;
(F)orm Feed (L)ine Feed (C)ontinue (Q)uit (N)on stop printing.
Make selection and continue to end of file.
(D)os Shell: Enter the D and you will be dropped into Shell where you can
perform a dos function or run another program (KEYhole takes
up 150k of memory) so it would be possible to run almost
anything while in Shell if using a machine w/512 or more of Ram.
Type Exit to return to KEYhole.
ESC=QUIT: Will return you to MAIN MENU
COMMUNICATIONS FILE:
--------------------
(N)otepad: When within a Dialer/Communications File you may, before or after
dialing a number access a file call NOTEPAD. This is for information
taken during a phone call or anyother use. Doodling if your Editor
is capable of line drawings.
(C)alender: Before or after youv'e dialed a number you may access a perpetual
CALENDER.

`5 HOW TO REGISTER
To register send a check or Money Order for the sum of 17.50 as well as Version
number of KEYhole you have
to;
Ralph Puccini
2783 C street #08
San Diego, Ca.
92102
I will send to you a packet that will include;
Registered copy of KEYhole v3.52 or higher (pending on current version number)
The current copy of KEYFIG.EXE if different than the current version
An extra disk with at least 400k of Recipes and or Information files that
you'll be able to plug into KEYhole or add to existing Recipes/information
<< If you Live out of the USA please add $2.00 to defray additional Postage >>
------------------------------------
Also available are 4 utility programs - Some are now available
------------------------------------
OPUS2KEY.EXE ---- This utility strips out the excess lines from an ASCII
BBS Echo Download. Removing the TAG lines, etc. Leaving
you with just the Title, Message and Sender of MEssage.
Each record is appended with the KEYhole Begining of Record
symbol which is placed on Title line and is ended with the
KEYhole EOF record symbol.
This utility doesn't do all your work for you but does
greatly reduce your editing time.
*IMPORT.EXE ------ This Utility allows you to tag the individual records that
you've extracted from your ASCII Echo download and combine
them into one file or append them to an existing file.
*COMPARE.EXE ----- This Utility compares the Record names in two files and
will then compile a list of the duplicates, allowing you
to dump the results to your printer.
*PROMATT.EXE ----- This Utility changes the ASCII file form of;
MEAL MASTER to KEYhole
MEAL MASTER to Quickbook
KEYhole to Meal Master
KEYhole to Qbook
This one saves a great deal of time when going from one
package to the next.
TAGLINE.EXE ------- Strips the taglines and names from an OPUS ASCII download
*EXTRACT ---------- Extracts records, writing to a file (as dictated in .DAT
file) records from ASCII files that were created useing
OPUS2KEY.EXE
*KEYSORT ---------- Creates a first letter alphabetized listing of your
records within .INF files
--------------------------------
* Not yet released
--------------------------------
I also have 2400 recipes that occupy 2.2megs. They are all in KEYhole format
Write me if you want a List of the Recipes. The Cost is $3.65 a disk. Each
disk guarenteed to have a zipped file w\400k of Recipes/info.
The cost of the Recipes is based on the following;
DISK price ---- .65 ea
postage ------- .65 per package
Mailer -------- 1.35 per sleeve
Time ---------- 1.00 per disk
All prices subject to change pending on inflation.
------------------------------
~
`6 SPECIAL (DOT) COMMANDS
The GOTO command
In the Catalog after an Index list has been scrolled down the screen you have
a few choices as to whatr you'd like to do. You may either continue scrolling
through the list either by hitting the return key which defaults to F1 or yes.
You may hit the F10 key which will cut off the list to what is currently on the
screen. Or you may use the GOTO command which is the act of placeing a period .
prior to the number; ie: .34
~
`7 CONVERTING ProCHEF FILE:
There is no conversion with the exception of renaming the file so that it
carries an ext of .INF
All library files, Information files and Recipes can be used. Because there
will be conflicts in Files extentions you may still want to store them in
different directories or on seperate disks.
^Join together several small files into one large one or keep them small. Each
.KEY file can have as many as 15 files attached to it. And of course you can
change the .KEY file useing the CATALOG line of the main menu.
(^ to make the process easier of apending files I have created the program
IMPORT.EXE - This allows you to easily transform several small files into
one Large one)
~
`8 MATTERS of INTEREST:
You can use KEYhole for any purpose. As a SCHEDULER, A PHONE/ADDRESS Book
or as a RECIPE Storage and Retrival System. I've included a file called
L_BOX and one called S_BOX these are importable ASCII Windows/boxs.
Import it into whatever kind of ASCII file you can think of. The L_BOX: if
you're only going use one window at the head of your file, use L_BOX.
If you're going to use two windows, you must use L_BOX first and then S_BOX
second leaveing no space between the two boxes.
Actually you can use them in whatever order you like but if you want the
file to look good then use them in the order I suggested.
You can use multiple Drives or directories for storage. Whatever you've listed
in your .KEY file.
RECORD SIZE Restriction
KEYhole files may be of any size. There are no size limitations as to how many
records can occupy a File, but, unfortunatly I finally had to put a size
limitation on the individual RECORDS. You can only have 500 lines per record.
The reason for this is that the Scroller that I wrote can only store 500 lines
at a time. More and the ERRORS come flowing. So keep it small, under 501.
But as I said; you can have as many 500 line records in a single file as your
disk will support. Although it does behove you to keep the files under 200k
each. Unless your operating on a 12mhz or faster CPU with a HD your searches
could take as much as 30 seconds on a 100k file. The same file search would
take between 5-7 seconds on a 12mhz machine. The faster your machine, the
faster my program. And of course if your operating KEYhole on a HD the speed
is as well dramatically increased.
DIAL FROM ANY MENU:
You can now dial from anywhere in KEYhole simply by starting your
Phone number with the @ ie.
@853-1212 will call time and you can be inside the BAKERY.KEY
in the file RyeBre when you do it.
All you have to do is to enter (K)eyword and then the prefix @ and then
your number.
I added this becuase it seemed as though the only time I really needed to
call anyone was when I ewas in another part of KEYhole. So walla! Call from
any section.
This was not created to replace the MODEM/communication File, becuase
I still like the fact of entering a name instead of a numbe to call
someone, not to mention the Calender Mode and the Address at the bottom of
the screen.
JUNK FILES:
At the end of any given session on KEYhole you'll find the following files;
ASHCAN 15 90/06/12 06:14
BOOKMARK 6 90/06/12 06:13
DATE 11 90/06/12 06:12
GETRIDOF 5 90/06/12 06:13
REALDATE 13 90/06/12 06:12
These are JUNK files generated each session by KEYhole.
If you want you can trash them after each session.
P.S. Don't trash NOTEPAD... This is your Phone Pad that is called into your
editor when you enter (N) in a DIALER File.
REMEMBER: Always set control symbols in the 1st column of the line
~
`! OPERATION OF KEYFIG
At DOS level or on the COMMAND line within KEYhole enter 'KEYFIG'
You'll have two options;
1. Re\configure Keyhole
2. Create a KEYfile
If you've already created your .CFG file I suggest you make changes useing and
editor rather than reconfigureing it each time. But the chooice is yours.
If you are doing the CONFIG for the first time then be sure to enter complete
path and drive names, ((unless you're running keyhole on a HD then the path
will be enough.))
!! Set up your pathways in KEYhole even if your Editor is setup in your
!! Bootup path.
the defaults for KEYhole are;
50 lines per printed page
Com1
If you select KEYfile;
You'll be asked to give the names for 15 INF files. It pays to be prepared
before doing this although if you're not prepared then just hit the return key
for each space that you have no INF file for. You can if you like seperate
the file areas in the KeyFILE either by useing dashes 8 of them or Ctl-V yields
a nice block pattern. At any rate in lieu of putting in an INF filename or
in lieu of hitting the <enter> which will leave the default statement 'EMPTY'
you can put in dashes or spaces or asteriks to seperate areas. Check out the
KEYchain.key file that came with this package.
Actually if you just follow the instructions everything will be fine.
~
`# Operation of KEYsort and Compare
KEYsort will alpabetize your Recipe INF files in first letter order.
Enter KEYsort filename + Ext : KEYSORT SAUSAGE.INF
you will be asked to enter a temporary sort filename. Best to name it the
same as original file ie SAUSAGE would be SAUSAGE but as in first place do not
enter an ext. The Program will append the .SRT ext to SAUSAGE.
Enter a carriage return (ENTER key) and the program will begin sorting your
file. When the program has finished it will query you as to whether you want
to write the sorted file over your old unsorted file. If so answer yes. Your
original file will be deleted and the filename name with the .SRT ext will be
renamed with a .INF extention. (this is way it best to keep original names)
exspecially if you intend to do your sorting in the original directory.
You will be queried as to whether you want to sort another file. If so repeat
process.
COMPARE:
COMPARE compares the recipe titles of two files and checks for duplicates.
Enter COMPARE filename+ext (if any) : Compare SAUSAGE.INF
you will be queried for another recipe file. Enter the full location of
filename if not in current directory and filename. ie. C:\telix\import\sausage
[remember you must supply file extentions if applicable]
The program will begin by reading file #1 (central file - file that file#2 is
compared aganist) it will create a temporary list of names.
Then the program will read file #2 and create another temporary file
The program will now compare the record titles in file #1 aganist file #2
After this process quits you will be informed as to duplicate filenames
and a file called : FILENAME.TAG will be created. You may have this file
sent to your printer inwhich case the file; FILENAME.TAG will be deleted
or you can choose to ignore the printer option inwhich case the File
FILENAME.TAG will remain intact.
Then with your editor go through the new file that you just checked and delete
the duplicate recipe records.
OPUS2KEY: (for OPUS BBS only)
This program takes the file made during an ASCII download from an Echo base
and filters out lines not needed, ie TAGlines, comment lines etc. It also
arranges the info into Medium level KEYhole format, inserting the Begining
symbol and the EOF symbol. This is not an intelligent program; it does not
distinquish between repeat title lines or whether the record is gossip or
worth putting into your KEYhole database. You will still need to do some
editing.
Step 1:
Enter the name of your ASCII filename : OPUS2KEY FOOD.POT
Step 2:
Enter a .MLF name. Need not be the same as filename. Enter a carriage return
You may use the Default filename OPUS.MLF.
[remember that these files are being saved in append mode so if you re-use
a filename it will contain the previous information as well]
step 3:
The program will query you as to whether you want to filter another ASCII
file. Answer Yes or No
If yes you will be asked to enter the path and drive as well as file mask
for your next selection ie; C:\TELIX\IMPORT\*.*
[enter] for current directory.
TAGLINE: (for OPUS BBS only)
This program does the same as OPUS2KEY except the only thing that is filtered
out of your ASCII download is the name of the sender and the TAGlines.
This was created so that I could build a phone list of the users on the
different echos.
Step 1:
Enter the name of your ASCII filename : TAGLINE FOOD.POT
Step 2:
Enter a .TAG name. Need not be the same as filename. Enter a carriage return
You may use the Default filename OPUS.TAG
[remember that these files are being saved in append mode so if you re-use
a filename it will contain the previous information as well]
step 3:
The program will query you as to whether you want to filter another ASCII
file. Answer Yes or No
If yes you will be asked to enter the path and drive as well as file mask
for your next selection ie; C:\TELIX\IMPORT\*.*
[enter] for current directory.
