Programming the
FUNCTION Keys
Using WordStar in drive B,
make a copy of the
FKEYS.DAT
file located on the diskette in
drive A. Name the new file
FKEYS1.DAT
and copy the file
onto drive B to practice the
following procedure. This
procedure will be an example of
how to program the F1 and F2
keys.

On your screen the first line
:AF1 00, is the program for the
F1 key. When programming the
function keys a code sequence
must be followed.
The :A represents the F1 key --
:B is designated to the F2 key
and so forth. Each sequence
must begin with a colon (:) and
the letter that represents the
number of the F key.
Programming the F1 key
The procedure to call up the
directory is to type DIR, carrier
return.
To program the F1 key to call
up the directory:
• Delete F1
• Type: DIR
A backslash ( \ ) must be entered
to separate each instruction.
• Type: \
The keyboard code to program
a carrier return is 0D. Entering a
0D in the function program will
complete the instruction to
display the directory. Refer to
page 6/9 for the keyboard codes.
• Type: 0D
To complete the command the
00 must remain at the end of the
line. All code sequences must
end with a\00.
The first line should now read:
:ADIR\0D\00.
The next line: BF2\00 is the
program for the F2 key. We will
p r o g r a m t h e F2 k e y t o
a u t o m a t i c a l l y cal l up t he
WordStar software program.
Again the :B represents the F2
key. This must remain in the
program line.
To a c t i v a t e Wo r d S t a r t he
command is WS.
• Delete F2
• Type: WS and a backslash ( \ )
to separate the instruction.
Once again a 0D must be entered
to program a carrier return and
the 00 must remain to end the
code sequence.
The second line should now read:
:BWS\ 0D\00
Save your file.
Exit word processing and stay
in drive B.
To load the
FKEYS1.DAT
keyboard layout,
Type: A:FUNCTION FKEYS1 .DAT [RETURN
• Press F1
The directory will appear on
your screen.
• Press F2
WordStar will be activated.
You are now ready to look at
the
WSKEYS.DAT
file. To
continue, let’s exit WordStar
and switch to drive A.
