The Keylist Change panel action bar choice functions as follows:

File
The File pull-down offers these choices:
1
Cancel. Cancels the changes to this keylist and returns to the Keylist Utility panel.
2
Save and Exit. Saves the changes to this keylist and returns to the Keylist Utility panel or the panel from which you issued the KEYS command.

These fields appear on the Keylist Utility Change panel:

Row x to x of xx
Indicates that you must scroll the panel to access the remaining label definitions.
Keylist Help Panel Name
To refer to a help panel from this keylist, enter the help panel name in this field in this format:
  • Must be 1-8 characters
  • First, or only, character must be A-Z or a-z
  • Remaining characters, if any, must be A-Z, a-z, 0-9

To remove a help panel name from a keylist, replace the help panel name with blanks.

Definition
If a display format or a label is specified, a definition must also be specified. Any definition is valid.
Format
The only valid display formats are:
LONG
The default. Indicates that the key label should be displayed in the function key area when the FKA command is toggled to the first cycle after OFF.
SHORT
Indicates that the key label should be displayed in the function key area when the FKA command is toggled to the first or second cycle after OFF. A key will display more often in the function key area if it is given the SHORT display format.
NO
Indicates that the key label should never be displayed in the function key area, regardless of the FKA command toggle cycle.
Label
Any label is valid. If the Label field is left blank, it will default to the definition. This will happen only if the field is blank. If the Label field is not blank and the definition is changed, the Label field will not change automatically.
View
To view a keylist, but not modify it, enter the keylist name when prompted. Select the keylist with a slash, then select View from the File pull-down, or type V next to the keylist name displayed and press Enter. The screen shown in Figure 3 is displayed.
