Changing the keyboard

SET KEYPAD

Use this command to set-up the numeric keypad. There are a number of options. The most useful are:

• SET KEYPAD EDT gives a range of useful editing functions such as delete word.

• SET KEYPAD NUMERIC which is useful for data entry.

• SET KEYPAD WPS which is useful for word processing.

All the key settings provided by SET KEYPAD can be overwritten with
DEFINE KEY .

There can be a problem. Some installations pre-define the keypad. In this case, keys have to be reset with UNDEFINE KEY to work (see below). This is a tedious process.

DEFINE KEY

This command can be used to define the function and numeric keypad keys. Its format is:

DEFINE KEY = keyname command

Where keyname is the name of the key and command is an EVE command.
