[comp.os.cpm] MEX+ Keystrings

marwood@dmc-crc.arpa (02/17/87)

I should like to implement MEX+ softkey definitions to set up other key
definitions, e.g.  KEY K="KEY Q="QUIT^M"^MKEY O="STAT RUB OFF^M"".  The 
point of this is to set up MEX with customized softkeys when calling a 
particular remote system.  The problem is the "quotes within quotes" which
MEX cannot interpret correctly.  One solution would be to specify a LOAD
NAME.KEY within a softkey string, but that is slower and requires and extra
file to be maintained (NAME.KEY). Does anyone have any ideas how this 
problem may be avoided.  Specifying characters within the keystring 
definition with the binary /O option does not help.
