Problem

Solutions: Keyboard Layout alters the output of certain keys by creating macros that can be assigned to practically any key on the keyboard, including the Alt-letter combinations, Ctrl-letter combinations, Shift-letter combinations, cursor keys, function keys, and the letters pressed by themselves.

Users can either alter an existing keyboard layout or create a new one. Keyboard layout files have a .WPK extension. They should be located in the Keyboard/Macro directory specified in the Location of Files in Setup (Shift-F1, L, K). Otherwise, they may be in the directory where WP.EXE resides. If users are unable to find the keyboard layout files, they will need to use the Install program to install them from the original disks.

Follow the steps below to create a keyboard layout:
1.      Specify a directory for the Keyboard/Macro files (Shift-F1, L, K).
2.      Create a keyboard layout (Shift-F1, K, C).
3.      Edit the keyboard layout to create a new key.
            1.      Highlight the name of the keyboard.
            2.      Press E, C.
            3.      Enter the description of the key.
At this point, the cursor is placed in the Macro Editor screen, and the user can enter the desired actions to be assigned to the key.
