NPAD.COM
This is a small program that once invoked by typing NPAD.COM
at the DOS A> prompt, and then hitting Ctrl-N, causes a small
note-pad window in reverse video to appear in the upper right-hand
corner of the screen. Whatever you type next goes onto the pad.
Typing Ctrl-N again will turn the window off. The best part of
NPAD.COM is that you can type Ctrl-N at any time - during an
editor session or while filling in your spreadsheet.
This process removes the Ctrl-N key from general use which
could prove to be unpopular with certain users but it shouldn't
hurt most users.
The general key definitions are:
CTRL-N turns notepad window on or off
DEL erases entire window contents
This program was featured in PC MAGAZINE December 25, 1984,
