You can run this utility from the disk or copy it onto your hard drive. To run from
disk, change the directory to the appropriate drive and type. To load the utility onto
your hard drive, create a subdirectory, and copy all the files on the disk into that
subdirectory. Enter the subdirectory and type.
Using the Keypad Utility
The utility uses a menu bar and pull-down menu system. All menu bars are displayed
across the top of the screen. “Utility” and the current menu titles are shown at the
bottom of the screen (see figure 4-1).
You need a full-stroke keyboard to enter keystrokes while recording a new key
macro, editing an existing macro, and entering utility commands. All keys on the
keypads are redefinable. While the utility is running, the keypads are disabled.
Dialog boxes appear for user prompts and to display error and user advice messages.
Two keys can be used to exit from the menus:
• ESC moves to the previous menu or out of the utility from the Main Menu.
• F1 returns to the current menu headings in some of the menus where Exit can
be chosen to exit this menu.
Keys specific to each menu are shown at the bottom of each screen.
