I too would like to move the file completion key to another place. Two e-mail messages to JP SW have gone completely unregarded. I guess I'll have to make a $phone$ call to them. Anyone interested in remapping 4DOS keys please e-mail me. That way I'll have some ammo to answer the expected "Why should we bother?" question.

Re-assigning keys can be easy when you have "device = ansi.sys" in your
config.sys file.
example
To re-assign the 4DOS filename completion key F9 to the TAB key, do the
following
>echo ESC[9;0;67p
to get the ESC char, hold down ALT and type 255 on the keypad and release
ALT and than hold down ALT again type 27 on the keypad and release ALT.
for more detail on reassigning keys check the ansi section of your DOS
manual. Good luck

This redefinition just happens to cause slight problems if one wants to use the TAB key in one's favorite editor for example. Any fool can redefine the keys, what we are after is altering what keys 4dos expects. BTW, someone mailed me regarding an incorrect e-mail address for JP Software. I requested that they send the correct address, but have received no reply. Thanks to all who replied with ME TOO! to the key redefinition. I'll try and reach JP SW this week by phone and post whatever conclusion is reached. ----- Richard Solomon Richard.Solomon@ColoSpgs.NCR.COM NCR Microelectronics 1635 Aeroplaza Drive Colorado Springs, CO 80916 (719) 596-5795 x386

Unfortunately, 4DOS's "cancel command" key is ESC. After I release the ALT key for the second time, 4DOS sees the ESC and cancels the command line. All previously entered characters (echo <space>) disappear.
