 SAVING COMMONLY TYPED SEQUENCES

 Telix will let you assign text to a key so that it is sent to
 the comm port when that key is pressed. This is usually called
 a keyboard macro, and is useful in saving keystrokes (for ex-
 ample, you can assign your name to a key). Telix actually
 keeps two key definitions tables in memory at all times (each
 table holds the text assigned to each key), the user table and
 the terminal table. The terminal table is used for terminal
 emulation key assignments. When Telix is told to start emulat-
 ing a certain terminal, it loads into this table definitions
 specific to that terminal. Therefore, for each terminal there
 is a key definition file which is loaded as needed. The user
 table on the other hand is relatively constant. You might want
 to assign your name to the Atl-1 key for example. This kind of
 definition would be put in the user table.

 When a key is pressed, Telix follows this procedure: If there
 is a definition for that key in the terminal key table, send
 that text; otherwise if there is a definition in the user
 table for that key, send the text; otherwise if the key repre-
 sents an ASCII value, send that value; otherwise if the key is
 a Telix command (like Atl-D), perform that command.

 The keyboard definition/macro editor is entered with the Alt-K
 key sequence from terminal mode. Telix will ask you if you
 want to access the user or the terminal key definition table.
 Unless you wanted to modify the keys for a specific terminal,
 you would always select the user table. Telix will present the
 following menu:

      Load  Save  Clear  Display  displayKey  Edit  eXit

 To load definitions from a previously saved key definition
 file into memory, select the 'Load' option. Telix will ask for
 the name of the key definition file (and use the extension
 '.KEY' if none is specified). Current key assignments will be
 cleared. The standard key definition file is "TELIX.KEY" and
 is loaded at start-up if it exists.

 To save the current key definitions to a disk file, select the
 'Save' option. Telix will ask what file to save them to, and
 use the extension '.KEY' if none is specified.

 Selecting 'Clear' will clear all the current key definitions
 in this table.

 Selecting 'Display' will show what text is assigned to each
 key.

 Selecting 'displayKey' will allow you to look at what is as-
 signed to one specific key, by pressing it when prompted.

 To actually enter or edit the text assigned to a key, select
 'Edit'. Telix will print the existing definition and allow you
 to edit it. Enter the characters that you want the key to send
 when pressed. Control characters and pauses can be included in
 the definition in the manner described previously in the man-
 ual under Output String Translation. Remember that if you make
 any changes they will be lost when you exit Telix unless you
 use the 'Save' option as described above, to save them to
 disk.

 Telix also allows you to run a script file when a certain
 function key is pressed. If a function key definition has an
 '@' character as its first character Telix will assume the
 rest of the definition is the name of a script file, and will
 try to execute it. For example pressing the function key whose
 definition is '@logon' would run the script file called
 'logon.scr'. If you really want to send out an '@' character
 as the first character in the key definition, then use two of
 them instead. e.g., the definition '@@Hello' would send out
 '@Hello'.
