- Use the up and down arrow keys to scroll
- through the menu; type the return key to
- select the topic on which you want help. The purpose of this program is to allow
- you to alter the definition of almost
- ANY key on the keyboard. The only keys
- you CANNOT modify are: the SHIFT keys,
- the SHIFT LOCK key, the CONTROL key, the
- 40/80 DISPLAY key and the COMMODORE key.
-
- At each step, options are presented in
- menu form. You can scroll through the
- options in the menus by using the up
- and down arrow keys at the top of the
- keyboard; pressing the return key
- selects the choice that is highlighted.
- At almost any point, you can exit the
- program by typing 'CTRL c' (the CONTROL
- key and C simultaneously.) The first thing you will be asked to do
- is set up your work file. You will be
- given a choice of 3 sources from which
- you can do this:
-
- DEFAULT DEFINITIONS - which basically
- represent a standard set of key
- definitions.
- CURRENT DEFINITIONS - which represent
- the most recently loaded set of
- definitions.
- DEFINITIONS ON CP/M BOOT DISK - which
- represent the set of definitions stored
- on your boot disk, normally default
- definitons, unless you replace them via
- this program. Once your work file is set up, you will
- be given a choice of 3 things to do:
- EDIT KEYS- which allows you to modify
- key definitions.
- ASSIGN LOGICAL/PHYSICAL COLORS - which
- allows you to redefine the meaning
- associated with a particular color.
- EXIT AND SAVE YOUR WORK FILE - This is
- provided here as a quick means of
- copying one set of definitions to
- another. For example, loading the
- default definitions into your work
- file and saving them as the current
- definitions, provides a means of
- restoring your current definitions
- after running an application which
- may have used a now undesired set
- of key definitions. Each key has 4 values associated with it:
- normal value - which represents the
- unshifted value of the key as
- labelled.
- SHIFTED value - which represents the
- value of the key, as labelled,
- obtained by typing the desired key
- and the shift key simultaneously.
- CONTROL value - which represents the
- value of the key obtained by typing
- the desired key and the CONTROL key
- simultaneously.
- CAPS LOCK value - which represents the
- value obtained while in COMMODORE
- mode. This mode is obtained by
- typing the COMMODORE key and stays
- in effect until you type it again. To select a key for editing, you must
- actually select the specific (1 of 4)
- value of the key that you want to
- modify. To do this, type the key so
- that the four values associated with it
- are displayed. Use the up and down
- arrow keys to scroll through the four
- values; type the return key to select
- the value that is highlighted. This is
- the specific key value that will be
- modified. The next time you view this
- key the new value you assigned will be
- displayed. You can modify as many keys
- as you want. When you are done, select
- the fifth choice - exit and save work
- file. (NOTE: To view the up arrow, down
- arrow or return key, type the desired
- key and the control key simultaneously).
