datafile Switch — Loading an

RPAL

Data File — To

load an

RPAL

data file, at the C:\> prompt type

RPAL

/Ddatafile

and press ENTER.

In datafile include the full path and filename of the

RPAL

data file. See “Saving an RPAL Data File” later in this
chapter.

For example, if you stored your custom color data file
(named

COLOR.DAT

) in the utilities directory (

UTILS

), your

command to load the file would be:

RPAL /D\UTILS\COLOR.DAT

/Kc Switch — Defining a Hot Key — If you install

RPAL

as

a

TSR

file without defining a hot key, ALT-P is the default.

To define another alpha key (A through Z) as the hot key, at
the

C:\>

prompt type

RPAL /Kc

and press ENTER, where c is

the alphabet character key (A through Z) you want to be the
hot key.

/1 and /2 Switches — Defining User Palettes — To
establish an

RPAL

data file as one of the two user palettes,

at the C:\> prompt type either

RPAL /1user1file

or

RPAL

/2user2file

and press ENTER.

In these commands, user1file and user2file must be the full
paths and filenames of the

RPAL

data file you select as user

palette 1 (p4) or user palette 2 (p5). You can then access
these palettes from the keyboard by pressing FN-ALT-ESC.

Refer to the “Saving an

RPAL

Data File” later in this chapter.
