...CTRL->TAB DOCS..GEOWRITE 64 AND 128 D IFFER IN A NUMBER OF WAYS, ONE OF THEM B EING THE 128'S TAB KEY. AFTER USING THE 128 VERSION FOR A WHILE, I FOUND MYSELF WISHING FOR THE SAME FEATURE ON MY 64. THIS PROGRAM IS THE RESULT OF THAT WISH ...ORIGINALLY, I HOPED TO BE ABLE TO GET GEOS TO SCAN THE FUNCTION KEYS AND THEN DEFINE ONE OF THEM AS CTRL-I (I STILL L IKE THIS OPTION, BUT IT'S BEYOND MY ABIL ITY TO EVEN DETERMINE IF IT'S FEASIBLE.) IN PLAYING AROUND WITH THE DEBUGGER, H OWEVER, I CAME UPON THIS FIX, WHICH IS N OT AS ELEGANT, BUT JUST AS FUNCTIONAL... TO USE CTRL->TAB, FIRST ENTER A GEOWRITE DOUMENT. THEN, FROM THE "GEOS" MENU, C LICK ON "CTRL->TAB". THE DESK ACCESSORY WILL APPEAR, DISPLAYING A "TOGGLE" ICON , "FILE" MENU, AND THE CURRENT STATUS OF CTRL->TAB...STATUS.."ACTIVE" STATUS MEA NS THAT THE CTRL KEY ALONE WILL FUNCTION AS A TAB KEY, MAKING THE CTRL-I COMBINA TION BOTH NON-FUNCTIONAL AND UNNECESSARY ..."INACTIVE" MEANS THAT THE CTRL-I COMB INATION IS NECESSARY FOR TABS...TOGGLE.. CLICKING ON THE "TOGGLE" ICON WILL SWITC H THE STATUS OF THE CTRL KEY. IF THE ST ATUS IS REPORTED AS ACTIVE, IT WILL BE M ADE INACTIVE. IF THE STATUS IS REPORTED AS INACTIVE, IT WILL BE MADE ACTIVE...F ILE..CLICK ON FILE AND THEN ON "QUIT" TO EXIT THE DA. THE CURRENT STATUS OF THE CTRL KEY WILL BE PRESERVED IN RAM...THI S IS THE ALPHA VERSION OF CTRL->TAB. IN TESTING, I HAVE HAD NO SYSTEM CRASHES A S A RESULT OF ITS USE. PLEASE LET ME KN OW IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS, SO I CAN TRY TO FIX THEM...I STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT CTRL ->TAB BE USED ONLY FROM INSIDE GEOWRITE. THE CTRL KEY STATUS SHOULD BE RETURNED TO INACTIVE BEFORE GEOWRITE IS QUIT. T HE DESKTOP DOESN'T SEEM TO MIND CTRL->TA B, BUT I'M SURE APPLICATIONS WHICH USE T HE CTRL KEY IN COMBINATION WITH KEYS OTH ER THAN "I" (LIKE GEOCALC) WOULD BECOME QUITE CONFUSED. IT SHOULD BE POSSIBLE T O DISABLE CTRL->TAB FROM INSIDE SUCH APP S, BUT I HAVEN'T TRIED. ..CTRL->TAB WORK S BY CHANGING THE GEOS KEYBOARD DECODING TABLE SO THAT THE CTRL KEY IS DECODED A S AN "I" (PUTS $69 AT $FC60). APPARENTL Y, THE SYSTEM DECODES CTRL SEPARATELY AS WELL, SO THAT THE SYSTEM IS FOOLED INTO THINKING THAT BOTH KEYS ARE BEING PRESS ED...THIS IS THE FIRST ASSEMBLY PROGRAM I'VE WRITTEN IN YEARS AND MY FIRST GEOS ASSEMBLY PROGRAM EVER. IT RELIES HEAVIL Y ON THE SAMPLEDA STUFF FROM THE GEOPROG RAMMER PACKAGE...CTRL->TAB IS PUBLIC DOM AIN. DO WITH IT WHAT YOU LIKE....IRV CO BB
