6.4 Keypad Driver/Hardware Window Manager

6.4.1 Function

The keypad driver (KEYPAD.EXE) is used to add the keypad function to the system. Application

programs can use the keypad by calling the keypad driver functions via the keypad library (refer to

Chapter 7.6.3 “Keypad Library”).

This keypad driver internally calls the hardware window manager that enables the use of the

hardware window. Therefore, the use of the keypad driver requires the residence of the hardware

window manager.

The keypad driver is also used by some utilities (refer to Chapter 8 “Utility”.) supported for this

terminal. Therefore, before executing an application program or utility that uses the keypad driver,

make it reside in the main memory.

The relationship between the keypad driver/hardware window manager and application programs is

shown by the following diagram.
