2.1  Introduction to Keyboard Programming Utilities

     These utility programs are used to program your programmable 

     keyboard.  You can setup up keys, macros, multi-keys, and other 

     features as best suits your application.  Use the utility 

     program appropriate for your keyboard; see the list of files 

     in section 1 above.  If you are not sure if you have cherry or 

     membrane switches then please verify with your dealer/reseller.
     
     The utility programs are DOS programs.  You cannot use these 

     programs from within Microsoft Windows (any version).  You 

     must exit to MSDOS (Select "Start" then select "Shutdown" 

     then select "Restart the Computer in MSDOS Mode").  
     
     Before starting this utility, connect a standard PC keyboard 

     into the pass through keyboard port of your programmable 

     keyboard. Use this standard keyboard while you are programming.
