- ■ Overview
-
- QuicKey is an interface to make basic commands available to SysOps quickly,
- conveniently, and organized. It comes with 11 built-in commands, accessable by
- pressing a single key, and includes a full built-in help and ability to support
- extra user-defined programs. QuicKey is great for use as a Function-Key, during
- chat, or quick pop-up access.
-
- ■ Setup
-
- QuicKey is easy to set up. 2 versions were included: QUICKEY.BBS for Max-DOS
- systems, and QUICKEY2.BBS for Max-OS2 BBSs. There are 2 ways to call QuicKey:
-
- 1) As a Function Key macro:
-
- - F?.MEC ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- [link]QuicKey(2)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 2) As an option in your SysOp Menu:
-
- - MENUS.CTL -------------------------------------------------------------------
- Menu SysOp
- ...
- Display_File QuicKey(2) SysOp "*QuicKey"
- ...
- End Menu
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Then compile your F?.MEC file with MECCA, or your MENUS.CTL with SILT, and
- QuicKey is ready to go with the touch of a key.
-
- ■ Warranty

- None.

-
- ■ ! (SETUP) Command
-
- Type an exclamation point to add a command of your own. This must be a
- Maximus .BBS file which will be displayed at the touch of a designated key.
- When adding a command, you will be asked first for the character you want to
- type at the `/' prompt to run your .BBS file, the name of the .BBS file, and
- the help description, which will be added to the end of the list displayed when
- a user types `?'.
-
- ■ ? (HELP) Command
-
- This displays a short description of the keys and functions built-in to
- QuicKey, and also the characters and descriptions of customized commands, as
- you entered them.
-
- ■ S (SHELL TO OS) Command
-
- Typing `S' will invoke the shell designated by your COMSPEC environment
- variable. Normally this will be COMMAND.COM. To check which yours is, type
- `SET' at the command prompt. To change it, type `SET COMSPEC=<...>' and replace
- `<...>' with the path to your favorite command interpreter, such as 4D*S or
- whatever. Note: The shell will only be invoked locally. To invoke a remote
- shell, do a `P' (DOS Command) and type `COMMAND >COM?' or replace COMMAND
- with your shell program.
-
- ■ Note from the Author
-
- Thanks for taking the time to view this doc. I worked rather hard on the
- program included here, and your support is appreciated. If you have any
- problems or suggestions, leave me a note in most FidoNet Maximus-related
- echoes. And watch for future releases!!
-
- * You are free to modify this program to your liking, as long as it is only
- distributed in its true, unmodified form!
