!AWNov91/Goodies/PD/!Keys/!Help

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

!Keys  1.01 (15-Feb-91)
=======================
To interpret key presses
========================
Once loaded,click on the !Keys icon.A window will appear,showing the twelve
function keys.You can enter the text that will be given when a key is
pressed in the long icon.If the small icon shows a star,then it will
make that OSCLI command,otherwise it will enter the text into the input
buffer.

Eg:

f0 * VERIFY

This will VERIFY the disc when f0 (Print) is pressed.

f1   AMF the Doomwatcher

This will enter "AMF the Doomwatcher" when f1 is pressed.

You can save the current file in the usual way from the icon bar menu.If
you select preferences and then drag a key file onto the window that appears,
this file will automatically be loaded on start up.

On certain word processors,you need to press CTRL SHIFT and the function key
to produce the required result.
