- Re-Definest version 1.01. For use with the IBM ANSI.SYS screen driver.
- Copyright(c) 1986 by Eric C. L. Ryan III
-
- Re-Definest will allow you to redefine up to 37 different keys to
- represent another string of characters. It implements the commands of
- the IBM ANSI.SYS driver. If you do not have it loaded (if you don't
- know you if you do, then you don't.) then your must create a file called
- "CONFIG.SYS" containing the line "DEVICE=ANSI.SYS". This file and
- ANSI.SYS must be placed on your system boot disk.

- REDEFINE.COM [Re-Definest 1.01]
- REDEFINE.DOC [This help file]
- SAMPLE.KEY [A sample keyfile to redefine the following keys :
- F1 : dir<cr>
- F2 : cls<cr>
- F4 : dir/w<cr>
- F5 : a:<cr>
- F6 : b:<cr>
- @C (Alt-C) : Copy<space>
- @D : Del<space>
- You may, of course, add to these, if you wish]
-
- Please note that the keyfiles created by Re-Definest 1.01 are not
- compatible with keyfiles from Re-Definest version 1.00
-
- Syntax :
- REDEFINE {arc} [filename.ext]
-
- Example :
- REDEFINE r mydefs.key
- This will read the existing definitions from the keyfile "mydefs.key"
-
- Options are :
- [a]dd definitions to a keyfile or to memory
- [r]ead definitions from a Re-Definest keyfile
- [c]lear keys F1-F10. You must re-boot to clear the rest.
-
- If no filename is specified for the [a]dd option, you may redefine
- keys temporarily in memory. If you do not wish to do this, Re-Definest
- will prompt you for a filename.
- However, you must have a filename for the [r]ead option. If you do
- not specify one, Re-Definest will prompt you for one.
-
- Once you have entered a filename or selected temporary redefinition,
- Re-Definest will prompt you to press the key that you wish to redefine.
- Once you press a key, it will prompt you for the string that you wish to
- attach to it. If you want a C/R at the end of a string, enter a '{' as
- the last character. Press [Enter] at the key prompt to end.
- If you press a character key or a previously redefined key, Re-Definest
- will warn you that you are going to redefine a character key. If you do not
- want to do so, press Control-C to abort the program.

- Version history of Re-Definest :
- 1.00/3/19/86 : First version of Re-Definest.
- 1.01/3/29/86 : A bug in version 1.00 was found; if no filename was
- specified for the [r]ead option, Re-Definest would
- crash. Improvments :
- ** The previous 30 character limit for strings in
- version 1.00 was increased to 40.
- ** In 1.00, you could not enter control characters or
- [Esc] in key redefinitions.
- ** You now cannot enter more than 40 characters for a
- redefinition string; Re-Definest will angrily at you.
- ** If you enter no keyfile name for the [r]ead option,
- Re-Definest will prompt you for one.
- ** If you press [Enter] when Re-Definest asks you for a
- keyfile name, it will exit.
