MALT (More Alt-Keys for the Perfects) is a memory resident
utility (TSR) that expands the number of keys recognized by
WordPerfect for the purpose of running Alt-like macros. MALT
uses less than 6,000 bytes of memory. To avoid conflicts with
other TSRs, MALT does not rely on the traditional shift keys
(Shift/Alt/Ctrl). Instead, MALT uses the Caps Lock key. Veteran
WordPerfect users should feel at home with the choice of Caps
Lock, since it is located in the same position that the Ctrl key
once occupied. MALT works with WordPerfect 5.0 and 5.1,
LetterPerfect, and should work with the other Perfects too. It
should be particularly helpful for LetterPerfect users (LP does
not have a configurable keyboard), and anyone else with a
shortage of keys, including those without an enhanced keyboard.
If you have reassigned either or both of the Macro Execute
(Alt-F10) or Macro Define (Ctrl-F10) keys, you must run MALTCFG
to configure MALT.
MALT-keys operate in an analogous manner to Alt-keys. To
define a MALT-key macro first press Macro Define (Ctrl-F10), then
hold down Caps Lock and press the key you wish to define.
Running a MALT-key macro is equally easy: simply hold down
Caps Lock and press the applicable key. MALT also has a Quick
Define feature, which is accessed by holding down the Shift key
and the Caps Lock key simultaneously, then pressing the key to be
defined. Unlike Alt-keys, MALT-keys are not restricted to the
letters of the alphabet. A MALT-key macro may be assigned to
almost any key on the keyboard.
MALT does not interfere with the normal operation of
Caps Lock, and with each use of a MALT-key, Caps Lock is restored
to its prior state.
Complete information about the operation of MALT may be
found in the accompanying file MALT.DOC, which is formatted as a
WordPerfect document. MALT is user supported software.
Information about registration is also contained in MALT.DOC.
