- Popuphlp is a popup type program that is memory resident and is
- activated by pressing the Alt/H key combination. Once activated,
- it is deactivated by pressing any other key. The previous screen
- is restored when deactivated.
-
- Its sole purpose is to display a help screen on your display. It was
- written to run in conjunction with Procomm and Newkey. It is an aid
- for remembering the keyboard translation for Procomm terminal
- emulation when using Newkey to translate IBM/PC keystrokes to terminal
- escape codes.
-
- It is executed by entering a text file name on the command line with
- the program name.
-
- A:>POPUPHLP 3278HELP.DAT.
-
- The text file should be 25 lines of 80 columns. The PC must be
- rebooted and POPUPHLP executed again to change the help text file.
-
- There are 2 variables, Userint and Entrychar that may be changed.
- Userint is the interupt number used by the program.
- Interupt number 67$ is the default. Numbers 60$ - 67$ should be
- available.
-
- Entrychar defaults to 'H', that is decimal 35. This correlates to
- the keyboard scan code for the key marked 'H'.
-
- If you have a mouse or other peripheral that needs a user interupt
- the interupt number will have to be changed and recompiled. It
- couldn't be made a command line variable because Turbo Pascal
- demands that it be and integer constant.
