"File Keys" Settings (screen image)

• "FileKey Set"
  Radio buttons used to select one of the three keysets for viewing. [Default: "Set 1".]

• "F1" through "F8"
  A label (7 characters or less) and a string (33 characters or less) specifying the label to display above the Fx key ("x" is "1" through "8") and the filename or pathname string to replay when the Fx key is pressed in a Goto, Open File, Save File, or Insert File window. If you leave the label blank, the filename part of the string will be used as the label. (File Open dialog screen image.) You can change the pathname string while in one of those windows by entering the desired pathname in the text part of the window and pressing SHIFT-Fx. [Default: "*.*" in one of the labels of each keyset, but otherwise blank.]

• "Set Assignments"
  Radio buttons used to assign the three keysets to the various built-in applications. You can change a keyset assignment using the "+" and "-" keys while in a Goto, Open File, Save File, or Insert File window. When in one of those windows, the currently assigned keyset ("1", "2", or "3") is shown between the F4 and F5 labels. (File Open dialog screen image.) [Defaults: "Set 1" for Memo, "Set 2" for the four database applications, and "Set 3" for Calc, Filer, and Macros.]

"Default Directories" Settings (screen image)

• Shows directory paths to be associated with the various applications. While in an Open File, Save File, or Insert Filer window, DEL DEL will cause movement into the specified directory. When in one of those windows, SHIFT-DEL will set the current directory as the default. [Default: "C:\_DAT\" for all applications.]

• "Macro Files (1st letter)"
  This checkbox enables macro file logic which allows different macro files to be assigned to each application. Use the controls following this checkbox to specify the first letter of the macro file that is assigned to each application. [New in version 3.] If a designation is an upper case letter, that file will be loaded and scanned at startup. Multiple macro file details. [Default: not checked (disabled).]

• "@boot.mac at startup"

  A group of settings for double-clicked letter keys as specified below.

• "Keycap"
  A fixed list of the 26 letter keys.

• "Double-click"
  The characters assigned to the letter keys for when they are double-clicked. If you specify a space, the associated key will not be tested for double-clicks, effectively disabling d- letter for that key. [Default: The 26 upper-case letters.]

• "Inhibit after a lower-case letter"
  A checkbox that specifies whether or not the letter keys are tested for double-clicks if the previous character is a lower- case letter. This checkbox prevents double-leTers that aPear within a word from being converted to uPer case, as is haPeNing in this sentence. [Default: checked (inhibit on).]

• "Memo" through "Add-ins"
  Checkboxes that specify whether or not this feature is allowed in the various applications. "DOS" enables the feature for any and all DOS programs. "Add-ins" enables the feature in system manager-compliant applications other than the built-ins. Note that this feature may not work properly in all DOS and add-in programs. Fn-L can be used in any enabled application to toggle this feature on and off. [Default: only "Memo" checked.]

  A group of settings for double-clicked letter keys as specified below.

• "Keycap"
  A fixed list of the 15 participating gray keys.

• "Double-click"
  The characters assigned to the gray keys for when they are double-clicked. If you specify a space, the associated key will not be tested for double-clicks, effectively disabling d- gray for that key. [Default: the 15 shifted symbols normally assigned to those keys, except for the period and equal sign keys for which d-gray is disabled by specifying a space.]

• "Memo" through "Add-ins"
  Checkboxes that specify whether or not this feature is allowed in the various applications. "DOS" enables the feature for any and all DOS programs. "Add-ins" enables the feature in system manager-compliant applications other than the built-ins. Note that this feature may not work properly in all DOS and add-in programs.

[Default: not checked (disabled).]

• "Reset state when toggled on (via Fn-S)"
  A checkbox that determines if the SmartCaps state is reset whenever it is re-enabled by pushing Fn-S. The reset state will cause the next letter key to be treated as the start of a new sentence. [Default: checked (Fn-S resets the state).]

• "'.' after white space toggles caps lock"
  A checkbox that enables "AutoCaps," whereby a period appearing immediately after a white-space character (space, tab, or ENTER) will cause the caps lock state to be toggled. If you really want a period in that situation, push it twice. If AutoCaps is enabled, then d-letter will only operate on the first letter of a word. [New in version 3]: This checkbox also causes d-gray to be inhibited following a dot after white- space. [Default: not checked (AutoCaps off).]

• "Force lower case after white space"
  A checkbox that enables "auto lower case," whereby a white space character (space, tab, or ENTER) will force the current state to lower case. If the AutoCaps checkbox (above) is checked, then lower case will only be forced if the upper case state was set using the AutoCaps feature. [Default: not checked (do not force lower case).]

• "Capitalize `i'"

[Default: only "Memo" checked.]

• "ENTER = EOS"
  Radio buttons that specify how many consecutive ENTER keystrokes will cause the SmartCaps state to be reset to "end of sentence." If "0" is specified, then the ENTER key will never cause end-of-sentence to be set. [Default: "2".]

"Blue-Key Controls" Settings (screen image)

• "Blue-key Remappings"
  The keycodes generated by the blue keys may be altered in two ways: by being double-clicked and by setting another keycode for one or more of the unshifted blue keys as specified below.

• "d-blue"
  A checkbox that enables the blue-key double-click logic. If this box is checked, double-clicking a blue key will cause the application assigned to the CTRL-version of that key to start. This features utilizes the d-click timer value specified in the Keyboard Translations settings. [Default: not checked (d-blue off).]

• "FILER key" through "MORE key"
  Eight edit windows that let you enter a hexadecimal keycode that will be used instead of the code assigned to the blue key. A "keycode" is a 16-bit value. The default values are:

"Keyboard Preferences" Screen (screen image)

• "Sticky CTRL"
  A checkbox that controls the "sticky" CTRL key logic. Buddy bug alert: If this box is checked, pushing CTRL-SHIFT-SHIFT will cause your arrow and gray keys to generate incorrect codes. To correct this, push SHIFT-SHIFT. [Default: checked (sticky CTRL).]

• "Sticky ALT"
  A checkbox that controls the "sticky" ALT key logic. Caution: because the ALT key is also used to call up menus, it may take some practice to get used to this feature. [Default: not checked (not sticky).].

• "Sticky SHIFT when highlight (Memo and Full Notes)"
  A checkbox that controls the "sticky" SHIFT key text highlight logic in Memo and full-screen notes. If you want to cancel the text highlight mode, push ESC or double-click the SHIFT key. Caution: it may take some practice to get used to this feature. [Default: not checked (not sticky).]

• "Allow ESC ESC to mean "No""
  A checkbox that controls whether or not two consecutive ESC keystrokes is taken to mean "No" in those cases when you are given "Yes, " No," and "Cancel" choices (e.g., after adding a record in Phone). [Default: not checked (ESC ESC means ESC Cancel).]

• "Todo: +/- changes week"
  [New in version 3] This checkbox changes the `+' and `-' key functions in the Todo main view. If this checkbox is on, those keys will change the date by one week. This was the normal action in version 2. [Default: not checked (`-' will toggle Todo status).]

• "Memo: Auto indent on ENTER"
  Normally, the auto indent feature is triggered by CTRL-ENTER. If this box is checked, then auto-indent will be the normal action of the ENTER key, and CTRL-ENTER will do an ordinary new line. [Default: not checked (CTRL-ENTER).]

• "Always use spaces"
  The auto indent feature will normally use a combination of tabs and spaces. This checkbox can be used to force auto indent to be done only with spaces. [Default: not checked (use tabs and spaces).]

• "Memo open: go to previous"
  When you open a file, Buddy will automatically move the cursor to the line where you were the previous time the file was seen. Buddy uses the three "Bookmark" slots in the EXM to save the file names, so the previous positions for at most only the three most-recently-seen files are retained. [Default: not checked (disabled).]

• "Memo open: go to end"
  When you open a file, Buddy will take you to the end of the file. The previous ("previous"!) checkbox will override this feature if the file name and previous position are known. [Default: not checked (disabled).]

• "Memo: latch PgUp, PgDn"
  This checkbox will cause Fn-PgUp and Fn-PgDn to latch the Fn key so that the up and down arrow keys alone will move by full pages. To release this mode, push any other key. [Default: not checked (disabled).]

• "Memo: MENO does Goto"
  [New in version 3.] When Memo is active, this checkbox will cause the MEMO key to take you to the "Goto" menu. This feature does not operate if "swap blues with shifted-symbols" is on in Memo. [Default: not checked (disabled).]

• "Idle keyboard timer (seconds)"
  A value representing the number of seconds after which a "Locating" operation in Filer or a database application will cause an automatic ESC. This will restore the 100LX/200LX to a standard state if the keyboard is idle. [Default: 5 seconds.]

• "Require MENU before Buddy Fn-letter keys"
  A checkbox that controls whether or not the MENU key must be pressed before Buddy will look for an Fn-letter keystroke as a Buddy command (e.g., Fn-S, Fn-P). This is provided for international users who have special characters assigned to many of the Fn-letter keys. If this box is checked, you must also push MENU before using ALT-PLUS and ALT-MINUS in DOS to control the serial port. [Default: not checked (MENU key not required).]

• "(Int'l) Normal Fn-A, Fn-I, Fn-N, Fn-T (accents), Fn-K"
  International users might want to check this box to restore the normal, built-in functions of these keys. [Default: not checked (Buddy functions are assigned).]

• "(Int'l) Auto d-gray (if SmartCaps on and d-gray off)"
  This checkbox allows you to change the character returned by a single-click of a numeral key. This can be useful if you frequently need accented characters, umlauts, or other symbols. See "SmartCaps Features" for details. [Default: not checked (disabled).]

"Memo Bookmarks" Settings (screen image)

• "File"
  The three file names that have been assigned to the bookmark sets for the Memo application. These names are automatically set when you push SHIFT-MENU-numeral in Memo. They are also used by the automatic cursor positioning logic.

• "Freeze file name"
  A checkbox that causes the associated bookmark set to be reserved for the specified file. If this box is checked, the associated bookmark set will not be reused for another file. [Default: not checked (not frozen).]

• "Freeze bookmarks"
  A checkbox that causes the associated bookmark values to be frozen. If this box is checked, the associated bookmark values will not be changed by SHIFT-MENU-numeral. If this box is checked, then it would make sense to also check "Freeze file name." [Default: not checked (not frozen).]

• "1:" through "9:"
  The current line number saved for each of the bookmarks. [Default: 100 through 900.]

"Filer Settings" Screen (screen image)

  Three extensions that are assigned special significance for the Filer-to-application link. Wild cards ("?" and "*") are allowed.

• "DOS Program"
  The program names for each of the three special extensions. If a filename is highlighted in the Filer that has one of the special extensions, when you push ENTER ENTER the specified DOS program will be executed with the highlighted filename passed as an argument. If the program name starts with "-", files with the associated extension will be ignored by the Filer-to- application link logic. The default action is to launch Memo (except in the case where FILER.INI is used on the 200LX -- details).

• ".BAT extension: ENTER executes"
  A checkbox that controls what happens when you highlight a file that has a "bat" extension and push ENTER. If this box is checked, the ENTER key will cause the filename to be passed to DOS and executed as a batch file (this is the normal sysmgr action). If this box is not checked, ENTER will simply cause the file to be viewed. If this box is not checked, you can force the standard action (execution) by pushing CTRL-ENTER in the Filer. Any file named "AUTOEXEC.BAT" will not be executed by pushing ENTER, regardless of the EXM settings. [Default: checked (execute BAT files).]

• "Lite Sleep Control (use with care)"
  A checkbox that enables Lite Sleep control in the Filer. If this box is checked, CTRL-L while in the Filer will toggle Lite Sleep mode on and off.

• "DOS Key (hex)"
  The hexadecimal keycode of the Filer hotkey that will call up a specified DOS program with the highlighted filename passed as an argument. To determine a keycode for a particular key, push Fn-K followed by the key of interest. The key's hexadecimal keycode will be shown on the title bar. For example, Press Fn- K and then TAB. You should see the value "0f09" appear on the title bar. If the "+ENTER" box is checked, the DOS hotkey string will be followed by the ENTER keycode. [Default: "332c" (the comma key).]

• "Pgm"
  The program that the Filer hotkey will execute. [Default: "echo".]

• "Use full pathname for passed args"
  A checkbox that controls the format of the argument passed to the (four) DOS programs used in the above features. If the box is checked, the argument will include a drive and directory specification, otherwise, just the filename will be used. [Default: checked (use full pathname).]

• "+ENTER"
  If this box is checked, the DOS hotkey string will be followed by the ENTER keycode. [Default: checked.]

• "Use MENU O D"
  This checkbox causes Buddy to start DOS via MENU O D (instead of CTRL-123) when you push the DOS hotkey (normally comma) or after ENTER while viewing a file with a specified "DOS" extension (set elsewhere on this screen). These two methods allocate different amounts of RAM to the DOS application. See the HP manual for details. [Default: not checked (use CTRL- 123).]

• "Battery Usage Timer"
  A push button that will reset the battery usage timer shown on the main Filer, Application Manager, and HP Setup screens. Push the "Reset" button after you change or charge your main batteries.

• "Flash highlight"
  If this box is checked, the battery voltage and timer highlights will flash. [Default: not checked (steady).]

• "Highlight below (0.01 volts)"
  This control specifies a time value under which the battery voltage will be highlighted on the Filer title bar (Filer screen image). For example, "310" will cause the battery voltage to be highlighted when the voltage falls to or is below 3.10 volts. [Default: 220 (2.20 volts).]

• "Highlight above (0.01 hours)"
  This control specifies a time value after which the battery timer will be highlighted on the Filer title bar (Filer screen image). For example, "450" will cause the battery timer to be highlighted after the battery usage time value reaches 4.50 hours. [Default: 900 (9.00 hours).]

"Global Preferences" Settings (screen image)

• "Startup Defaults"
  The specified features can be enabled at startup (boot) by checking the appropriate boxes. [Default: d-letter, d-gray checked.]

• "AutoCalc: # in Phone(etc.), Filer"
  Enables the AutoCalc logic which will automatically take you to Calc if you push a numeral key from Filer, or push a numeral key or dot from TOPCARD or a main screen of Phone, Database, NoteTaker, WorldTime, or Appointment. [Default: checked (AutoCalc on).]

• "Fn-Q also silences appt and timer alarms"
  This checkbox determines whether or not an automatic Fn-W will be performed to restore the beeper volume when an alarm occurs. If this box is checked, then Fn-Q will silence keyboard beeps and alarms. If this box is not checked, then you will hear the next alarm, and then you must do another Fn-Q to (re)silence the beeper. Note: custom sounds that do not include a volume setting command will not cause an automatic Fn-W until the end of the alarm. Fn-Q details. [Default: not checked (alarms are not silenced by Fn-Q)]

• "Auto Fn-W timer (mins)"
  This control lets you specify the number of minutes after which you would like Buddy to perform an automatic Fn-W. This will restore alarm beeps after you push Fn-Q. If you set this value to zero, then Buddy will not do an automatic Fn-W. [Default: zero (off).]

• "Maintain video invert mode (ON-/)"
  If you push ON-slash, the video mode of the current screen will be inverted. (That is a built-in feature of the machine.) If this checkbox is on, then Buddy will maintain the video mode even if you change screens. [Default: checked (maintain inverted mode).]

• "Flashing alarm"
  Turn this checkbox off to prevent Buddy from flashing the display during an alarm. [Default: checked (flashing alarms).]

• "Password"
  If you push Fn-F, Buddy will power the machine down. When you turn power back on, Buddy will lock the keyboard (and scramble the display or show the TOPCARD) until you type this text string and push ENTER. Case is important. If you forget your password, you must cold boot your machine. Unless you are entering a new password, the window will show asterisks instead of the actual characters of your password. To prevent unauthorized changing of your password, you must push `%' before the EXM will allow you to access the password entry line. Non-null passwords can only be specified in registered copies of Buddy. [Default: null (no password required, just press ENTER to resume normal operation).]

• "Require PW if off (mins)"
  This control is a checkbox and a timer value. If the box is checked and the time value is zero, then Buddy will prompt for a password whenever you turn power on, regardless of how the machine was turned off. Set a non-zero value to cause Buddy to prompt for a password only if the specified number of minutes has elapsed since power-off. [Default: not checked (disabled).]

• "Prompt"
  You can use this control to change the text of the default password prompt.

• "Method: Scramble, TopCard, none"
  Depending on this control setting, Buddy will scramble (most) screens when the password is demanded, bring up the TOPCARD, or do nothing except ask for a password. Password details. [Default: scramble.]

• "Blow up the machine on cold boot"
  This is for those of you who are REALLY paranoid about data security. It's just a joke.

"Other Settings" Screen (screen image)

• "Large cursor in DOS"
  A checkbox that will cause Buddy to enlarge the cursor when you go to DOS. In some cases, if may be necessary to manually reset the cursor to the large state by using Fn-C while in DOS. [Default: checked (large cursor).]

• "Remove slashes through zeros"
  Enables the removal of the slash through the middle of the zero characters in the small- and medium-sized fonts. This makes a "0" easier to distinguish from an "8". [Default: checked (remove slashes).]

• "Unload Buddy when terminating sysmgr"
  A checkbox that controls whether or not Buddy will remove itself when you terminate sysmgr (via "MORE MENU a t ENTER" or MENU-SHIFT-DEL). Even if this checkbox is not checked, you can cause Buddy to remain loaded by pushing F8 instead of ENTER. [Default: checked (unload Buddy).]

• "Use small font for Fn and Fx labels"
  A checkbox that controls whether or not the character size for Buddy-generated F-key labels is automatically determined based on the number of characters in the label (thus using the small font only if necessary) or if the small font should be used for all labels. [Default: not checked (automatic font size).]

• "Fn-P/D/N: Use first word in note when linking"
  A checkbox that controls whether or not the current word is used when linking to Phone, Database, or NoteTaker via Fn-P, Fn-D, or Fn-N. If this box is checked, then the current cursor location is not significant. [Default: not checked (use word at the current cursor location).]

• "Fn-P/D/N: Use Appt Description field when linking"
  This checkbox will override the use of an appointment note when linking to Phone. This mode allows you to create an appointment from Phone (using Fn-A) and then quickly link back later (using Fn-P) even if the note field is empty. [Default: not checked (search note).]

• "Fn-P/D/N: Open record after linking"
  If this checkbox is on, then Buddy will automatically open the record after linking using Fn-P, Fn-D, or Fn-N. [Default: not checked (do not open record).]

• "Lotus keyboard shortcuts and F-key labels"
  Experienced Lotus users may find some of Buddy's shortcuts unnecessary or confusing. This checkbox is provided to allow such "purists" to turn off those features. This checkbox also turns off the f-key labels. Use this checkbox if the occasional conflict between Buddy and Lotus on the label line drives you nuts. [Default: checked (shortcuts enabled).]

• "MENU-dot in Lotus; save using"
  A pair of radio buttons that specify the action ("replace" or "backup") to use when saving a file in Lotus 123. This action is done as part of the automatic keystroke generation in Lotus after pressing MENU dot or MENU u. [Default: "replace".]

• "Use Fn-CUT for delete EOL/SOL"
  If this box is checked, then delete to end-of-line (CTRL-DEL) and delete to start-of-line (CTRL-BACKARROW) in Memo and Full Notes will save the deleted material to the clipboard instead of tossing the text away. The previous contents of the clipboard are overwritten. [Default: not checked (do not use clipboard).]

• "Appt: daily greeting time"
  (200LX only) This control allows you to specify the appearance time for the Appointment daily greeting. A change takes effect "tomorrow." Use Fn-STAR to see the greeting on demand. [Default: 12:00 midnight.]

• "Delete this feature"
  A checkbox that allows registered users to disable the map overlay feature and in turn release the code and data space used to implement the overlay. If you are short on system memory, check this box to make Buddy smaller. Unregistered copies do not show this control because, in that case, this system memory is automatically released on boot. This checkbox does not affect the size of BUDDY.COM on disk; it only causes BUDDY.COM to use less space in system memory after it has been loaded. You must reboot after changing this checkbox for the new state to become effective. [Default: not checked (overlay feature remains in memory for registered users).]
