-
- This file explains how to use the OmniUtilities and how to change your
- AUTOEXEC.BAT file so your keyboard sets up the way you want
- each time you boot your system.
-
-
-
- USING OMNIUTILITIES
-
- 1) To use the OmniUtilities, log onto the disk drive that holds the
- OmniUtilities diskette. For example, if your OmniUtilities diskette is
- in drive A:, Type A: and press the <Enter> key.
-
- 2) Type OU and press the <Enter> key. The OmniUtilities menu will be
- displayed.
-
- 3) Use the <Arrow Keys> to move through the menu selections. Look to
- the bottom of the screen for an explanation of each of the choices.
-
- 4) Make your choices.
-
- 5) Press the <F1> key to send your choices to the keyboard. Your
- OmniKey keyboard will now operate with the choices you have made. For
- example, if you changed the keyboard layout to a Dvorak layout, your
- keys will now be reassigned to the Dvorak positions.
-
- 6) You can make several different sets of menu selections and save each
- set of selections in a separate file. To do this, make the selections
- you want, then press the <F9> key. When the program asks for the file
- name, type a file name up to eight characters long. Do not type an
- extension after the file name. (A file extension is a . and up to three
- characters that follow the file name.) For example, to name your
- selections MYSETUP, press the <F9> key, type MYSETUP, and press <Enter>.
-
- 7) If you make a mistake or realize that the settings you have selected
- won't work for you, press the <F2> key to return the keyboard to the
- default settings.
-
- 8) When you have made all the selections, press the <F10> key to return
- to DOS.
-
- CHANGING YOUR AUTOEXEC.BAT FILE
-
- If you want your keyboard to set up a particular way each time you boot
- your system, complete the following steps:
-
- 1) Use the DOS Copy command to copy the file OU.EXE to the root
- directory of your C: disk drive. Follow the steps below:
- - Return to C:\> prompt.
- - Put the OmniUtilities diskette in the A: disk drive.
- - Type COPY A:OU.EXE and press the <Enter> key.
-
- 2) From the C:\> prompt, type OU.EXE. When the OmniUtilities menu
- appears, make your selections.
-
- 3) Press the <F9> key to save the selections in a file. When prompted,
- name your file and press the <Enter> key.
-
- 4) Press the <F10> key to exit the OmniUtilities.
-
- 5) Use a word processor that allows you to save your file as ASCII or
- DOS text to add the following line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
-
- OU {filename}
-
- where {filename} is the name (without an extension) you used to save
- your selections. For example, if you name your setup file MYSETUP,
- add the line OU MYSETUP to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
-
- 6) Save your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and reboot your computer.
-
- 7) Now, each time you boot your system, your OmniUtilities selections
- will be in effect.
