HP 250 - User-Defined Keys

HP 2622D Personal Workstation
The HP 250 system also has its own defined softkeys which can be
used to set the terminal configuration, display status
information, display all softkey labels, and access alternate
character sets (line drawing, display mode, and display
enhancements).
User-Defined Keys
Each of the 8 keys can be defined 3 ways. In other words, it is
possible to have 24 user-defined softkeys at anyone time. These
softkeys are appropriately numbered 1 through 24. The
corresponding softkey labels appear on the screen when the keys
are defined. Pressing a key activates a predefined program or
routine that is stored in the computer's memory.
If you are running a program which has 24 softkeys defined, only
8 of the keys are available at any given time. In other words,
you will see the definitions of either softkeys 1-8, 9-16, or
17-24 at anyone time. To activate the next set of softkeys and
display the corresponding labels, press the CYCLE key located on
the lower left hand side of the typewriter block.
Below is an example of softkey labels on the display screen.
To learn more about using softkeys as typing aids, you should
look at the appendix titled "Using Softkeys as Typing Aids".
