CURSOR UP/DOWN ALT-S Exit and Save ALT-Q Exit no Save End Key Entry with
<cr> Control-C=AC -- replaces <cr> in string |
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The programmable
keys are listed on the left side of the screen; SF8 is shift F8 and CF8
is control F8. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| To save
a command string in a function key, move the wide cursor up or down using
the cursor arrow keys to the desired key name and type in the desired string
of keys. End the command string with a <cr>. If you need to have a control
code (control+letter key), precede the letter key with a carat ( ^ ). If
you need a <cr> in your command string, put in the tilde character (
- ). To enter a PC-PLOT-IV ALT key in a key string, enter the string `X
where (`) is the accent key and X is the ALT- key to use. for example,
to put ALT-E in a key string, enter `E. |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| As soon
as you have defined all of your command strings, enter an ALT-S command
which will save your key definitions in the startup setup data file, PCPLOT.SET.
Enter ALT-Q to exit without modifying the keyfile on your disk. |
7.2 Using programmable function
keys |
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
| Programmable
function keys can be a real timesaver when logging on to your host or running
programs on the host which require long, complicated commands. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Any time
the terminal emulation is on line, you can depress shift-Fx or control
Fx and the string saved for that key will be sent to your host computer
( x is a function key number 1-10). |
