Operating System software your

The
PEOPLE
Personal
Microcomputer under the
CP/M-86 Operating System
allows you to program the
function and cursor keys.
This means that the user can
decide which character
sequence is sent when pressing
one of the function or cursor
keys.
The function keys F1 to F12 and
the cursor keys with and
without the
CTRL
key are
programmable. You can recall
34 different character
sequences with a length of 20
characters each.
The
FUNCTION
program can
be used to program the function
and cursor keys for all types of
software — WordStar,
Supercalc, DBasell, etc. For
example, if you use your
PEOPLE
Personal
Microcomputer for word
processing, inventory control,
general ledger and database
management, the function keys
can be redefined for each
individual application and saved
on the diskette.
This allows the user to have
their own set of function keys
for each application software
package.
