DEFINE /KEY

Format
DEFINE /KEY key-name "equivalence-string"
Command Qualifiers Defaults
/ECHO /ECHO
/IF_STATE /NOIF_STATE
/LOCK_STATE /NOLOCK_STATE
/LOG /NOLOG
/SET_STATE /NOSET_STATE
/TERMINATE /NOTERMINATE
Description
This command lets you assign a string to a function key, possibly overriding any
predefined function that was bound to that key. When you then press the key, the
RTR Utility enters the currently associated string into your command line. The
RTR DEFINE /KEY command is similar to the OpenVMS DCL DEFINE /KEY command.
A key definition remains in effect until you redefine the key or exit from the RTR
Utility. You can include key definitions in command procedures, e.g. in the RTR
Utility initialization file.
The /IF_STATE qualifier lets you increase the number of key definitions available
on your terminal. The same key can be assigned any number as long as each
definition is associated with a different state.
By default, the current key state is the DEFAULT state. The current state may be
changed by pressing a key that causes a state change (that is, a key that was
defined with the
DEFINE /KEY /STATE command).
