Defining Function Keys
The keys mapped as F1 through F12 can be redefined from the
keyboard or by the host. The function keys can store up to 128
characters between them and can include escape sequences and
ASCII control characters in addition to character strings. Here we
describe how to define a function key from the keyboard.
1
Press the keys Shift + Esc . to display the Define F key line
along the bottom of the screen.
The line has two user-entry fields. The small first field specifies
the F key to be defined, and the second field is where the pro-
grammed contents is entered and displayed.
2
Specify the function key to be defined by entering a two-digit
number in the first field, for example, 01 for F1 , 12 for F12 , then
press Enter . The second field will display the current definition
of the function key.
3
In the second field, enter the new definition for the function key.
This can include a character string, escape sequence or control
characters.
A control character is entered by typing its keyboard equivalent.
For example, the
CR (carriage return) character is entered by
pressing Ctrl + M .
You can erase the character at the current cursor position by
pressing the keys
Ctrl + 2 . If you want to restore the default
definition, press the Clear key.
4
Press the Send key to store the key definition. The Define F key
line will be cleared to allow you to enter the next key definition.
If you do not want to save the definition, press
Shift + Esc
instead of Enter .
