DOORWAY now has a new capability. It can redefine keyboard entries made at
the remote end. Thus if you have a program which requires a F10 to be
pressed to exit, you can now redefine some other key, such as "Q" or ^Q,
to be an F10. There are no restrictions on redefinitions (except you cannot
redefine the RETURN key). Once the F10 is redefined as a "Q" then the user can
enter a "Q" to exit the program, and the program will receive an F10.
To use the table generator enter XTABLE at the dos prompt. If you already have
a table, it will print the translations already in the table. It will then ask
if you want to modify the present table or erase it and start a new one. The
last definition entered for a key will be the one kept, so if you make a
mistake simply enter it again. One each line enter the character you want
translated followed by the character you want it translated to. In the above
example you would enter "Q" followed by "F10". Note that the extended codes
show a "*" followed by the character equilavent of the scan code. When the
table is complete, enter a RETURN. The translation table DOORWAY.XLT will
be generated.
To use the translation table simply put a /X: on the doorway command line
(before the /P: if there is one). DOORWAY will then load DOORWAY.XLT from
the current directory. If you want it to load a different table or from a
different directory then follow the /S: with the path\filename of the table.
