Defining Function Keys
The keys mapped as F1 through F12 can be redefined from the keyboard or by the
host. The function keys can store up to 128 characters between them and can include
escape sequences and ASCII control characters in addition to character strings. Here
we describe how to define a function key from the keyboard.
1. Display the function key menu by pressing the keys Shift + Esc.
DEF F:
_ _ .........................................................................................................................
Field A Field B
2. Specify the function key to be defined by entering a two-digit number in field A,
for example, 01 for F1, 12 for F12, then press Enter. Field B will display the
current definition of the function key.
DEF F: 01 E
C
a................................................................................................................... AID
3. In field B, enter the new definition for the function key. This can include a
character string, escape sequence or control characters.
A control character is entered by typing the keyboard equivalent. For example,
the CR (carriage return) character is entered by pressing Ctrl + M. Refer to the
Character Sets appendix to find the keyboard equivalents of other control
characters.
The following example shows the definition entry for the F1 key so that it
displays New definition then performs a carriage return when pressed:
DEF F: 01 Pericom Software C
R
..........................................................................................
You can erase the character at the current cursor position by pressing the keys
Ctrl + 2. If you want to restore the default definition, press the Clear key while
the cursor is in field B.
4. Press the Send key to store the key definition. The function key menu will be
cleared to allow you to enter the next key definition. If you do not wish to save
the definition, press Ctrl + Shift + Esc instead of Enter.
Note that the function keys can store a maximum of 128 characters between
them. When this number is reached or exceeded, field A will start blinking and
any characters following the 128th character will be discarded.
5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 until you have finished defining function keys.
6. To exit from the function key menu, press Ctrl + Shift + Esc.
