- REDEFINE - is a memory resident program enabling the user to assign a
- string of up to 60 characters to a single key combination consisting of
- the - Alt key and any of the number keys 1 thru 0 - this permits up to
- ten different command strings.
-
- If your like me you often repeatedly type in the same commands thru
- the day. Key reassignment can be used to assign frequently entered -
- commands to a key combination. Commands so assigned could be entered
- with a quick key press.
-
- For example - if you need to access a subdirectory named 'SOCKS' to
- view info repeatedly thru the day and the Pathname to this subdirectory
- go's like this:
-
- A> CD \SALES90\SHIRTS\SLACKS\SHOES\SOCKS
-
- By redefining a key combination such as - [Alt-1] - this hole string
- is typed out for you when ever you press this key combination.
- This saves much time and effort making computing all the more easier..
-
- HOW TO USE REDEFINE.COM:
-
- It is best to load REDEFINE.COM be means of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file at
- boot time but it can be loaded any time at the DOS prompt.
-
- The program will indicate when it is loaded by displaying the name of
- the program, the activation key you must press to access the program and
- my name and address.
-
- Pressing - Both [SHIFT] Keys - pops up the program allowing the user to
- CREATE or EDIT his or her command strings. You can enter up to <10> command-
- strings just as you would at the DOS prompt, up to 60 characters in length.
-
- To CREATE a command string press - Both [SHIFT] Keys - then press the key
- combination you wish to assign the string to. The cursor will move to the
- beginning of that line. You then type in you command string, when complete
- press the enter key. The program then asks the user if - [A] - he or she
- wish's immediate action when the key combination is pressed or - [B] - to
- wait for the user to press the ENTER key.
-
-
- To EDIT a command string press - Both [SHIFT] Keys - then press the key
- combination the command string is assigned to. The left and right arrow
- keys move the cursor within the command string, when editing is complete
- press the - [Esc] - key to exit back to DOS. If you wish to create a new
- command string over an old one simply place the cursor at the beginning of
- the string and press the - [Del] - key to delete the whole line, this will
- also flush the command string buffer.
-
- You could also type over the old command string but if the new string
- is shorter then the old string you must place the cursor one space past
- the last character of the new string then press the - [Del] - key. This
- will delete to the end of the old command string, you then press enter.
- This is necessary to flush the remainder of the old command string from
- the screen and buffer.
-
- OPTION 1:
-
- You may be thinking 'Will I have to type in all these command strings
- each time I reboot my computer ????'.
-
- The answer is NO you will not ! REDEFINE.COM can load a pre-created
- file with your string commands every time the program is loaded.
-
- When REDEFINE.COM is first loaded it search's in the current directory
- for a file you create with the filename [ASSIGN.DAT] this file can be -
- created with COPY CON or your favorite EDITOR. The file must have no more
- then 10 command line strings, if you wish the computer to take immediate
- action end your typed in string with a carriage return by pressing [ENTER]
- If you wish to wait for user input end the command string with a question
- mark (Example: COPY *.*? then press enter) the computer then waits for the
- enter key to be pressed. The command must be no more then 60 characters in
- length.
- Important - the file you create must use the filename - ASSIGN.DAT
- This file is not necessary to operate the program if you wish to type in
- the strings each computer session.
-
- HERE IS AN EXAMPLE FILE:
-
- COPY CON assign.dat [ENTER]
- a:
- b:
- c: ------------ Press - [ENTER] - at the end of EVERY command string.
- cls
- del ?
- copy ?
- ed b:redefine.asm
- tasm/z b:redefine.asm b:
- tlink b:redefine.obj
- exe2com b:redefine.exe b:redefine.com
- ^Z
-
-
- OPTION 2:
-
- If you find you need the memory used by REDEFINE.COM (about 16Kb)
- it is easily released simply by typing in - REDEFINE/U - then pressing
- the enter key. A copy of the program must be in the current directory
- and current drive for this release to work.

- THIS PROGRAM IS SHAREWARE:
-
- The "ShareWare" concept is basically an experiment in the marketing
- and distribution of software. It attempts to cut down on distribution and
- marketing expenses so that quality software can be made widely available
- at the lowest possible price. This concept also makes it possible for
- users to try the software before they decide to keep (and, hopefully, pay)
- for it. This is very handy in a world full of competing packages!
-
- There is a certain amount of ambiguity about when you're still -
- evaluating a program, and when you're really using and should register
- a program.
- In practical reality, it is up to you to decide. For most, it is not
- dishonesty but merely procrastination, so it seems to me to all boil -
- down to honesty and your own conscience.....
-
- < Please keep in mind the fundamental good spirit of free distribution >
-
-
- RESTRICTIONS:
-
- Permission is given to freely copy and distribute this program so long
- as there is no charge, (except for a minimal diskett cost) and that it is
- not added as an incentive to market another software or hardware product.
- This program is NOT a PUBLIC DOMAIN program, but is being distributed under
- the - SHAREWARE - concept.
-
-
- Users are asked to send a registration fee of -
- $5.00 US <or money order> per User Copy
