Where can I find documentation regarding programming function keys? I
would like to set them up to operate with certain codes I routinely use
in bulletin boards. Have not been able to locate suitable documentation.

I would like to be able to load simple commands into my function keys and
execute them when I am logged into a remote host using a modem. A case
in point is multiple keystroke commands used with a word processing system.
Can anyone tell me how to accomplish this? I have looked through the
hardware manual and cannot find such a reference. Is it a matter of the
key codes being fixed and having to handle programming via software
interface? If so, is there a way to circumvent this for use with
commercial software?

The trick is to write an input handler in the stream (before intuition). One uses the ADD_HANDLER (or something) to do this, as described in RomKernelManual, which everyone i know hopes to eventually try. Right, everybody? In the meantime, maybe we should have a contest to get one of these things in the public domain. What happened to you guys/gals who said they were producing one? Honorary busy guys :^) If it turns out that such a thing is real hard to write, please tell me why, and i can do some research. go wild. jimm
