FNKEY: Tara Datafile Utilities, v. 2.01, (c) 1987 by David C. Oshel
Usage : C>fnkey { -F<number> } [ "string" ... ]
Example: C>fnkey -F9 "pick <c:\names.dat"
FnKey assigns single-keypress macro strings to function keys.
The -F<number> switch tells which key to define. The default
is F10. Press the key to enter its macro on your command line.
Notice that "string" is typically PART OF A COMMAND that takes
additional arguments. The macro saves repetitive keystrokes.
ANSI.SYS(*) must be installed on your system, or FnKey will not
work. Parameters with <, |, or > MUST be enclosed in quotes.
FnKey does not assign macro strings to PC keys other than Fns
or place control characters (such as newline) in the strings.
If you quote the entire main argument, FnKey is sure to read
the expression properly: e.g., C>fnkey -f1 "pick -f; <input"
(*) Daniel Kegel's "New ANSI Driver", NANSI.SYS, is recommended
for use with this program. FNKEY is known to work just fine with
NANSI (but not ANSI) on at least one popular Nihon clone.
