  1.              KEEPER                                  Steven Holzner
  2.           Command                                         No. 11
  3.  
  4.           ______________________________________________________
  5.  
  6.           Purpose:  Stores and displays the last ten commands
  7.                     entered for immediate reexecution without
  8.                     retyping.
  9.  
  10.           Format:   KEEPER       (loads memory-resident program)
  11.                     <Ctrl-N>            (toggles window display)
  12.  
  13.           Remarks:  KEEPER can store command lines of up to 50
  14.                     characters each in length.  After loading,
  15.                     normally via your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, and
  16.                     pressing Ctrl-N (the default trigger key; see
  17.                     Option 1), the last 10 command lines are
  18.                     shown in a window in the upper right-hand
  19.                     corner of the display.  If you wish to
  20.                     execute one of the commands shown, move to
  21.                     its line with the Up Arrow and Down Arrow
  22.                     keys;  the line currently selected blinks.
  23.                     Pressing Ctrl-N again will reissue a blinking
  24.                     command or, if no stored command line has
  25.                     been selected, will return the display to
  26.                     normal.
  27.  
  28.                     Notes:
  29.  
  30.                     1.   KEEPER is not compatible with a number
  31.                          of application programs (e.g., XyWrite)
  32.                          that take over the keyboard interrupts.
  33.  
  34.  
  35.           Option 1: The default trigger key is Ctrl-N.  Should
  36.                     this be inconvenient, you can use the
  37.                     KEEPER.BAS program to recreate KEEPER.COM
  38.                     with a different trigger key.  From the DOS
  39.                     prompt simply enter
  40.  
  41.                          BASIC KEEPER
  42.  
  43.                          and the program will prompt you for your
  44.                     choice of trigger key.  After the KEEPER.COM
  45.                     file is created in this way, it is a regular
  46.                     DOS command and is not run under BASIC.
