B. PROGRAMMING UTILITY (KBW.EXE)

does but using Windows application interface. Please use on - line help
to program the programmable keyboard. Use the connected PS/2
keyboard for data entry of usual characters. Use mouse right click or the
“ ” key on keyboard for data input of some special codes.
C. SHORTCUT UTILITY (RWM.EXE)
The feature of this RWM.EXE is designed mainly for the off-line
programming purpose and is very useful in quick reproduction of the
preprogrammed contents of the programmable keyboard. In such
application, the user should have either the preprogrammed keyboard or
the preprogrammed file with “.tpl” extension name which is the result of
the keyboard programming. The user may use RWM.EXE to directly
transfer the programmed result of the programmable keyboard to a “.tpl”
file or directly transfer a prestored “.tpl” file to a programmable
keyboard without entering the utility “KBM.EXE” or “KBW.EXE”
which may take more keystrokes. For instance, the user wants to transfer
a file “XXX.tpl”, which was saved before, to the programmable
keyboard, he/she should type in following command in subdirectory
“POSIFLEX.D”:
RWM XXX.tpl
(enter)
This operation is quite recommended to be performed on a daily
basis to ensure the system stability.
