╙INCE ╘╚┼ ╙┼╥╓┴╬╘ POPS UP WHENEVER YOU TURN ON OR RESET YOUR COMPUTER, IT WOULD BE QUITE ANNOYING IF YOU WERE STUCK WITH ╘╚┼ ╙┼╥╓┴╬╘S ORIGINAL APPEARANCE.
═ODIFYING ╘╚┼ ╙┼╥╓┴╬╘ NOT HARD. ╞IRST, LOAD ╘╚┼ ╙┼╥╓┴╬╘ INTO COMPUTER ╥┴═ MEMORY. ╘O VERIFY THAT ╘╚┼ ╙┼╥╓┴╬╘ REALLY IS PRESENT AND WORKING IN THE COMPUTER'S MEMORY, INVOKE ╘╚┼ ╙┼╥╓┴╬╘S MAIN MENU. ┘OU SHOULD SEE THE AUTHOR'S NAME AND ADDRESS BELOW THE MAIN MENU, AND THE MESSAGE "╚IT ├╧╬╘╥╧╠/+ TO SAVE ┼╨╥╧═ BURNER FILE". ─╧ ╬╧╘ SAVE ╘╚┼ ╙┼╥╓┴╬╘ YET. ╞IRST, MODIFY YOUR COPY ACCORDING TO YOUR PREFERENCES. ╘O DO THAT, HIT ╥┼╘╒╥╬ TO RETURN TO ┬┴╙╔├. ╬OW, YOU'RE READY TO MAKE MODIFICATIONS.
╞╒╬├╘╔╧╬ ╦┼┘╙:
╫HENEVER YOU POWER UP OR RESET YOUR COMPUTER, ╘╚┼ ╙┼╥╓┴╬╘ WILL INSTALL ITS OWN FUNCTION KEYS DEFINITIONS. ╘HE DEFAULT DEFINITIONS ARE AS FOLLOWS:
╞1 = DLOAD " (╠OAD A ┬┴╙╔├ PROGRAM)
╞2 = DSAVE "@ (╙AVE A ┬┴╙╔├ PROGRAM)
╞3 = C┴ (─IRECTORY ON DISK DRIVE 8)
╞4 = C┴U9 (─IRECTORY ON DISK DRIVE 9)
╞5 = CLEAR SCREEN, SET COLORS, SET FAST MODE IF USING 80 COLUMNS.
╞6 = BANK15:SYSDEC("1300") (├ALL A ═╠ ROUTINE AT 4864/$1300)
╞7 = L╔ (╠IST A ┬┴╙╔├ PROGRAM)
╞8 = MO╬ (╟O TO THE ═╠ MONITOR.)
╘YPE ╦┼┘, AND THEN ╥┼╘╒╥╬. ┴ LIST OF THE CURRENT FUNCTION KEYS WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN. ╨LEASE NOTE HOW CONTROL CHARACTERS ARE UTILIZED. ╘HE CONTROL CHARACTERS WILL MAKE THE FUNCTION KEYS WORK FLAWLESSLY, EVEN IF THEY ARE PRESSED IN THE MIDDLE OF A SCREEN FULL OF TEXT (TRY THAT USING THE ├128'S DEFAULT DEFINITIONS!).
┘O CAN CHANGE OR MODIFY ANY OF THE DEFINITIONS USING THE ┬┴╙╔├ "╦┼┘" COMMAND. ╔F YOU WANT, YOU CAN CHANGE THE FUNCTION OF THE ╚┼╠╨ KEY AND THE ╙╚╔╞╘/╥╒╬-╙╘╧╨ COMBINATION AS WELL. ╚ERE'S HOW:

BANK 15:SYS 24812 ,,8,,,"DEFINITION"
╘O CHANGE THE ╚┼╠╨ KEY:
BANK 15:SYS 24812 ,,9,,,"DEFINITION"
╥EPLACE THE WORD "DEFINITION" WITH THE ACTUAL DEFINITION YOU WANT TO USE. ╨LEASE NOTE THE USE OF COMMAS, YOU'LL NEED TO USE THEM EXACTLY AS SHOWN FOR THIS TRICK TO WORK.
┘OU WON'T NEED TO INCLUDE A FUNCTION KEY DEFINITION TO INVOKE ╘╚┼ ╙┼╥╓┴╬╘ ITSELF. ╚OWEVER, ╘╚┼ ╙┼╥╓┴╬╘ WILL AUTOMATICALLY CLAIM ONE FUNCTION KEY DEFINITION (OF YOUR OWN CHOICE) FOR THIS PURPOSE. ╙EE THE SECTION ON ╘╚┼ ╙┼╥╓┴╬╘ CALL KEY BELOW. ╨LEASE NOTE THAT THE TOTAL NUMBER OF CHARACTERS IN THE FUNCTION KEY STRINGS IS LIMITED TO 246. ╘╚┼ ╙┼╥╓┴╬╘ CALL KEY USE 16 CHARACTERS, SO A TOTAL OF 230 CHARACTERS ARE AVAILABLE FOR YOUR USE.
╫HEN YOU THINK YOUR CUSTOM FUNCTION KEYS ARE ╧╦, TEST THEM TO VERIFY THAT THEY REALLY WORK ACCORDING TO YOUR EXPECTATIONS. ╘HE FINAL STEP IS TO COPY THE DEFINITIONS INTO ╘╚┼ ╙┼╥╓┴╬╘ ITSELF. ─O IT USING THE FOLLOWING ┬┴╙╔├ LINE:
