Advanced Options
<keyname>=<macro string>
where <keyname> is the terminal key’s name and <macro string> is the macro text
assigned to that specific key.
For example, if you wanted to send the text “vt100” followed by moving the cursor to a
new line when a user presses the PF9 key, you would define the following in the macro
object file: pf9=vt100\015;
Multiple keyboard macros can be defined in a single macro object, however, each line of
the macro object must be terminated by a semicolon.
Macro:
Pressing the terminal key causes:
pf1=login5\015;
pf2=passwd5\015;
pf3=vt100\015;
pf4=appname\015;
PF1 sends “login” followed by CR
PF2 sends “passwd” followed by CR
PF3 sends “vt100” followed by CR
PF4 sends “appname” followed by CR
Note: \015 represents the octal value for “carriage return”. See Octal Values, below.
Using Octal Values
The following table lists the octal value and the associated ASCII equivalent character
for special characters that may need to be incorporated into macro strings.
