Loading Your Function Key Definitions
Loading Your Function Key Definitions
To load the library of function-key definitions you created into TACL memory:
The KEEP 1 option keeps only the new definitions and deletes any previous ones. If you
omit this option, the TACL program keeps all the definitions that you have ever loaded,
and you will eventually run out of space.
To load your function-key definitions automatically when you log on, see Customizing
Your TACL Environment on page 5-12.
Displaying Your Function Key Definitions
To display a list of your function keys and their definitions, use the KEYS command:
Comments inserted using the COMMENT command are displayed, but comments
inserted with == or { } are not displayed.
Using Your Function Keys
After you load your function-key definitions into TACL memory, you can press a
defined function key to execute the associated command.
For example, if you defined F1 as the FILES command, pressing F1 lists the files in
your current subvolume:
If the command defined for a function key accepts command arguments, you can pass a
value to the command, and the TACL program uses this value as a command argument.
This is true for both alias and macro definitions.
