tcl.set-kbrd.sco

Verb: Access/TCL, Releases: AP/SCO

Sets PC keyboard for SCO/Unix.

Syntax

set-kbrd file.reference item-id {(options}

Description

defines the keyboard type for port 0 (zero) on AP/SCO systems only.

The 'e' or 'u' options change the keyboard definitions. When filing the item, the keyboard is not changed until the 'set-kbrd' command is issued without any options.

'set-kbrd' overrides the default setting, or the previously executed 'set-func'.

On AP/SCO, all Pick or Unix processes running on the Virtual Terminals on the memory mapped console will be affected by this command.

'item-id' is the item in the file, 'dm,kb.fk,', which defines the functions keys. The definition of 'item-id' is provided by SCO/Unix in the directory '/usr/lib/keyboard'.

The files 'kb.pc' and 'kb.fk' are emptied. 'set-kbrd' and 'set-func' read from the SCO directory during the first load and updates to 'kb.pc' and 'kb.fk' also update the SCO directory.

These functions use 'import', 'export' and 'mapstr'.

Options

e Invokes standard line editor ('ed') for updating definition.

u Invokes Update processor ('update') for updating definition.
