IBM 3151 Emulation 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 EC 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 SoftwareCR 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. 11-6

Defining Function Keys

The keys mapped as

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.

Display the function key menu by pressing the keys

Shift

Field A

Field B

Specify the function key to be defined

by entering a two-digit number in field

for

example,

for

F12

, then press

Enter

. Field

will display the

current definition of the function key.

DEF

...................................................................................................................

AID

In field

, 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

(carriage return) character is entered by pressing

Ctrl

. Refer to the

Character Sets

appendix to find the keyboard equivalents of other control

characters.

The following example shows the definition entry for the

Pericom Software

..........................................................................................

You can erase the character at the current cursor position by pressing the keys

Ctrl

. If you want to restore the default definition, press the

Note that the function keys can store a maximum of 128 characters between

them. When this number is reached or exceeded, field

any characters following the 128th character will be discarded.

Repeat steps

until you have finished defining function keys.
