The next two characters in the
code sequence are 0B. To save
operator keystrokes, (i.e., typing
CTRL
K), the hexadecimal code
can be used. Since the
FUNCTION
program allows you
to input up to 20 characters,
you can increase the amount of
characters that can be entered
by using the hexadecimal code.
The WordStar code for the
Block Menu is
CTRL
K. Looking
at the Standard ASCII Character
Table note that
CTRL
K is equal
to 0B in hexadecimal code. By
entering 0B in your program
you are programming the F1
key to activate the Block Menu.
In WordStar after the
CTRL
K
has been depressed, the Block
Menu appears on your screen.
To mark a block of text is the
letter B. The B does not require
a
CTRL
key, so it is entered as
the letter B. This B in the code
sequence is the final step in
programming the F1 key to
Mark a Block of Text.
The last part of the code
sequence is a backslash ( \)
with two zeros (00). All code
sequences
must
end with a\00.
Therefore, :A\0BB\00 is the
instruction for programming the
F1 key to mark a Block of Text.
NOTE:
When programming the F1 key
to display the directory from the
instruction on page 6/4, the
letters
DIR
were entered in the
function program. The control
keys are programmed in
hexadecimal code. Refer to the
Standard ASCII Character Table
for the correct code sequence.
If you desire to alter the
WordStar function keys that
have been preprogrammed,
refer to the WordStar Reference
Manual for the necessary codes.
