FKEYS v1.05 - Assembly language code written by Malcolm Boyle
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to FKEYS - a tiny TSR program (just 5k) that allows the user to
easily determine what should happen when the Function Keys are pressed.
This program will be of use to those people who often type the same
command over and over again. With FKEYS all you have to do is press the
hot key F11 to run the setup menu where you will be asked to press one of
the Function Keys. Once you have pressed the FKEY you want to program, you
will be asked to enter the command(s) to be executed when that FKEY is
pressed.
A useful feature of this program is the ability you have to program the
FKEYS of your choice from a standard ASCII text file which is read into
memory when FKEYS is launched. The ASCII file FKEYS.INI should be created
and placed in your C:\DOS directory. The ini file itself is very simple to
follow - just type the number of the FKEY at the beginning of a line,
followed by a colon and then the commands of your choice.
e.g.
1:dir|
2:cd\windows|dir *.bmp|
An example FKEYS.INI is supplied for you - place it in your C:\DOS directory.
Note the use of the Carriage Return key represented by '|', this is the
equivalent of pressing RETURN on the keyboard.
Note also that multiple commands can be programmed to one Function Key, and
are separated by '|'.
You should move FKEYS.COM and FKEYS.INI into you DOS directory on your C
drive otherwise the INI file will not be read properly. I suggest you
include the following command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, preferably after
other TSR's such as DOSKey:
loadhigh c:\dos\fkeys.com
I have taken every care that this TSR program doesn't cause conflicts
with other TSR's. If you have a TSR loaded that uses one of the Function
Keys (F6 say), then FKEYS will not interfere with it and it will Function
as normal even with FKEYS loaded (unless you specifically set up F6 to do
something else).
FKEYS is a freely distributable ShareWare Program written in Assembly
Language.
