■ Overview
QuicKey is an interface to make basic commands available to SysOps quickly,
conveniently, and organized. It comes with 11 built-in commands, accessable by
pressing a single key, and includes a full built-in help and ability to support
extra user-defined programs. QuicKey is great for use as a Function-Key, during
chat, or quick pop-up access.
■ Setup
QuicKey is easy to set up. 2 versions were included: QUICKEY.BBS for Max-DOS
systems, and QUICKEY2.BBS for Max-OS2 BBSs. There are 2 ways to call QuicKey:
1) As a Function Key macro:
- F?.MEC ----------------------------------------------------------------------
[link]QuicKey(2)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) As an option in your SysOp Menu:
- MENUS.CTL -------------------------------------------------------------------
Menu SysOp
...
Display_File QuicKey(2) SysOp "*QuicKey"
...
End Menu
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then compile your F?.MEC file with MECCA, or your MENUS.CTL with SILT, and
QuicKey is ready to go with the touch of a key.
■ Warranty
None.

■ ! (SETUP) Command
Type an exclamation point to add a command of your own. This must be a
Maximus .BBS file which will be displayed at the touch of a designated key.
When adding a command, you will be asked first for the character you want to
type at the `/' prompt to run your .BBS file, the name of the .BBS file, and
the help description, which will be added to the end of the list displayed when
a user types `?'.
■ ? (HELP) Command
This displays a short description of the keys and functions built-in to
QuicKey, and also the characters and descriptions of customized commands, as
you entered them.
■ S (SHELL TO OS) Command
Typing `S' will invoke the shell designated by your COMSPEC environment
variable. Normally this will be COMMAND.COM. To check which yours is, type
`SET' at the command prompt. To change it, type `SET COMSPEC=<...>' and replace
`<...>' with the path to your favorite command interpreter, such as 4D*S or
whatever. Note: The shell will only be invoked locally. To invoke a remote
shell, do a `P' (DOS Command) and type `COMMAND >COM?' or replace COMMAND
with your shell program.
■ Note from the Author
Thanks for taking the time to view this doc. I worked rather hard on the
program included here, and your support is appreciated. If you have any
problems or suggestions, leave me a note in most FidoNet Maximus-related
echoes. And watch for future releases!!
* You are free to modify this program to your liking, as long as it is only
distributed in its true, unmodified form!
