and press ENTER. Thereafter, the word Communication will
be displayed in the main menu Quick Commands box,
opposite the function key number you selected.

You also can type line graphics characters to appear on the
function key display. (Press F1 for a list of graphic
characters you can use.) Press and hold FN-ALT, and then
type the three digits for each graphic character on the
embedded numeric keypad (blue key fronts). Then release
FN-ALT.

Program Pathname

In response to the Program pathname prompt, type up to 67
characters for your application pathname. This is the
command your application tells you to use to load the
program at the

MS-DOS C

:\> prompt.

For example, if your communication program (named

COMPROG

) is installed under the

UTILS

directory on the hard

disk (drive C), to load the program you would type

UTILS\COMPROG

at the

C:\>

prompt. Therefore, you would

type that same command at the Change Menu Program
pathname
prompt:

C:\UTILS\COMPROG

and press ENTER.

The more complete your pathname, the faster LM can find
and load your program.

Refer to the MS-DOS User’s Guide and Reference for
discussions of paths, pathnames, and directories. See your
application documentation for directions on how to install
the program on the hard disk and what command to use to
load the program.
