** FKEY **
** By M. B. Page **
Purpose: Assigns DOS commands to function key(s).
Usage: FKEY 2 dir
In the above usage example, FKEY assigns the DOS command "dir" to function
key 2. Upon executing the above example the dir command will be issued when
ever the F2 function key is pressed.
NOTE: FKEY will override DOS's normal use of function keys. If the key F3 is
assigned a string, the normal F3 funtion (repeat last DOS command) will be
replaced with the new FKEY assignment.
FKEY can also be used to execute batch files, by assigning a batch
filename to a function key. You cannot assign multiple DOS commands to a
single function key. For example: "FKEY 3 cd\letters type letter.txt" would
only result in changing your current directory to the \letters directory.
However, "FKEY 3 type \letters\letter.txt" would work just fine from any given
directory.
If you just type FKEY and press enter, a brief explanation of the usage
is provide as reminder. FKEY commands can also be called from batch files.
in order to suppress FKEY messages, add the ">nul" pipe at the end of the
function key(s) assignments.
Example batch file: Fkins.bat
echo off
cls
FKEY 1 dir>nul
FKEY 2 cls>nul
FKEY 3 chkdsk>nul
FKEY 4 dir /w>nul
FKEY is the result of my present attempt to learn the C language. In order
for this program to work, you must have the DOS ANSI.SYS driver install in
memory. (See your DOS manual for instructions on how to add ANSI.SYS) to
your config.sys file at boot time.
FKEY is provided to share with your friends, upload to BBS's etc..
