OTSETUP is used to install extended function key
definitions in OTERM. See OTERM.DOC for details on
using extended function keys.
The syntax for OTSETUP is
otsetup <fkey file> <OTERM input> <OTERM output>
Only the fkey file is required. The OTERM input
file defaults to oterm.com as does the output file.
Only those parts of the input or output OTERM file
names which differ from the default need be entered.
For example:
otsetup fkeys b: b:
will use b:oterm.com and create b:oterm.com.
In all cases, if a file with the same name as the
output already exists it will be renamed with an
extenstion of .bak.
The fkeys file contains the extended function key
definitions in the form:
name /function key value/
The name may be from 1 through 127 alphanumeric
characters. Upper and lower case are equivalent.
The "/"s may be any printing character. The func-
tion key value may contain any characters except the
delimiter specified (including carriage returns and
line feeds).
Any number of carriage returns, line feeds, spaces
or control characters may appear between the name
and the delimiter or before the next name.
Commands may be entered in the function key value as
for files by entering esc <digit> for a function
key.
Control characters may be entered in the file, or
may be entered as esc <char>. For example, esc a,
would generate ^A. Rubout may be entered as esc ?.
Note: To enter a control character with WordStar,
precede it with control p.
In the last definition, ^[ is an escape character.
If a function key is defined with the name
OTERMINIT, it will be executed when OTERM is
started. If one is defined with the name OTERMEND,
it will be executed at program termination.
OTERMEND may not contain a file read command, but
otherwise these function keys follow the same rules
as others and may be executed manually.
