I'd prefer SHORTCUT.SYS. KEYBOARD.SYS could be confusing for MS-DOS users.
Perhaps SHORTCUT.INF (or .CFG) would be even better because it's not a
driver, but a configuration file.

I think it's easier to handle one file instead of 3 or 4 ones.

I think that wouldn't be useful. I think it's better to use RShift+Tab
if you type with 10 fingers.

It's a very good idea!

I've got an improved suggestion: You could also implement a 3rd parameter
for changing the text if it is a menu entry. This would allow easier
trans-
lation of programs without editing the RSC file.

That's no bad idea - I just thought about developing such an EPROM card.

HELP should be usable in dialog boxes, too.

You're right. How about CTRL+<, CTRL+>, CTRL+SHIFT+< and CTRL+SHIFT+>?

??? I haven't got any problems using the cookie jar in GFA-BASIC. There
are many libraries for handling cookies, and it is not even difficult to
write some cookie functions.

Yes, these routines really provide all the functions you need for GEM
dialog programming.

A simple bugfix by the programmer would help, so there's no problem.

That's it for today... :-)
