F KEY LABELER
DOCUMENTATION
This program will create a label to fit around the
function keys to help you remember their functions for
specific programs. The first prompt is for the name of the
program for which you are creating this label. The rest of
the prompts are for the function key uses in this program.
The first prompt for each key is for the "upper case"
function, that is the function which requires the shift,
alternate, or control key to be pressed while pressing that
function key. The second prompt is for the normal function
for that key.
For example, if you were creating a label for Lotus
123, since Lotus only has one function per key, you would
skip the first F1 prompt by just hitting enter, then in
response to the second prompt, you would type HELP, for
this is the function of the F1 key...and so forth.
The complete example I have chosen to include is for
the word processing mode of SYMPHONY. There are a few
differences between this and the other modes so I use a
separate overlay for each. The first prompt for each key
will need the ALT function of that key, and the second
prompt will need the normal function. At the opening
prompt, enter SYMPHONY WP. At the next prompts, type the
following capitalized words ending each with the enter key.
COMPOSE HELP WHERE JUSTIFY SPLIT INDENT
CENTER ERASE LEARN GOTO ZOOM WINDOW STEP
USER DRAW CALC SWITCH SERVICE TYPE MENU.
The main limitation with this program is that it must
be used with an Epson dot matrix printer, or at least one
that uses the CHR$(15) for compressed print, and CHR$(14)
for expanded print.
Before using your scissors, I suggest you put scotch
tape on both sides of the paper covering the square which
will remain after you cut it out. This will add a strength
and lasting quality which you will appreciate later. It is
also helpful to cut the right side as thin as possible
without cutting off any letters. This will improve the fit
between the function keys and the main keyboard. A final
suggestion is to round off the bottom right corner so the
heel of your left hand will not bump it.
I hope this program will be as helpful for you as it
has been for me.
