- PROKEY SUBSET FOR 1-2-3 [123KEY.DOC]
- -----------------------
- In order for Prokey to work with a 123 spreadsheet, certain
- setups are required. First, the 123 system disk must contain
- the files PROKEY.EXE (the main PROKEY tm. program) as well as
- the file 123KEY.PRO which is the file that contains all the
- custom key assignments to be used while in 1-2-3.
-
- An additional third file may be included 123KEY.BAT (may be
- re-named Autoexec.bat). This file installs prokey and the keys
- before it calls in the main 1-2-3 program.
- [123KEY.BAT]= PROKEY/R 123KEY.PRO
- 123
- ^Z
- Upon boot-up the PROKEYS for 1-2-3 will be loaded into high
- memory and will be invisible to the user until called.
-
- One additional set-up is required on each new spreadsheet that
- is started. Because of the way 1-2-3 defines certain of the
- function keys, it is necessary to inbed the definitions some
- where in a group of isolated spreadsheet cells. In doing so
- you will cause PROKEY to interact with the 1-2-3 typing alternative.
-
- The result is to move the functions STEP NAME ABS QUERY TABLE CALC GRAPH
- from their respective keys F3 F4 F7 F8 F9 F10 to their new assignments
- respectively altF3 altF4 altF7 altF8 altF9 altF10.
-
- The move is to allow the re-assignment of those function keys as follows:
- F3 becomes HOME
- F4 becomes END
- F7 becomes the UP arrow
- F8 becomes the DOWN arrow
- F9 becomes the LEFT arrow
- F10 becomes the RIGHT arrow
-
- You may now leave your NumLock key on and use the keypad as a
- numeric keypad. As stated above this requires a ONE-TIME-ONLY
- setup on EACH NEW spreadsheet. The setup is an automatic feature
- built into the Prokey set loaded by the first step. To use the
- setup feature do this:
-
- **** AFTER YOU HAVE CALLED IN A NEW SHEET OR CLEARDED THE ****
- **** OLD SHEET TO BUILD A NEW ONE, PRESS altF2 . ****
-
- AltF2 moves the cursor to Cell position BA1 and writes
- cells that 1-2-3 's typing alternative will use in
- re-defining the keypad. If this group of cells at
- BA1 is going to interfere with the spreadsheet, you
- may change their location by useing the 1-2-3 MOVE
- command to move the group to another section of the sheet.
- Or if you can change the prokey 123PRO.KEY file to have
- another beginning cell in place of BA1 (To do this pull
- up 123PRO.KEY with an editor and find BA1, change it!).
-
- Each cell in this special group has a range name and they
- remain the same in a 1-2-3 move. It is these names that
- the typing alternative uses in looking for those cells.

- To use this you need to own PROKEY and download three files to put on your
- 1-2-3 system disk. They are as follows : [123KEY.DOC]=this explanation
- [123KEY.PRO]=the prokey definition file [123KEY.BAT]=the new 123 autoexec.bat
