PUSHED ONE-KEY BUTTONS USER GUIDE

  1. PREPRE_1 reads ALL keys interactively in REAL TIME DIALOG.
      While you interact with computer, the keys you push are classified into two categories, namely Menu (Command) keys and data (Information) keys. It retains only all Menu keys. This way, it enable you to use Menu-Keys for next tasks.
  2. It keeps track of pushed Menu-key buttons interactively as:
    • KEY.REC File, a Binary File.
    • KEYTRAC.REC File, a TEXT File of ASCII value for the keys.
      Vendor also provides Program(s) to convert file(s) above to ALFAKEY.REC (shown below) file and vice versa to help you understand quickly and easily to do the work.
  3. PREPRE_2 reads KEY.REC File input automatically and all other keys with you interactively as PREPRE_1.
  4. A user who invokes PREPRE_1 can obtain SAME results as PREPRE_2 by:
    • Following ALFAKEY.REC content; for example, the one, below.
    • Instructions for PREPRE_2.
  5. After you are very familiar with PREPRE_1 operation:
    • you can use a regular text editor to create/modify alphabetical keys to suit your need.
    • The keys are then converted into KEY.REC File for PREPRE_2 input.
    • Thus you can save time NOT to use PREPRE_1 all the times from very beginning.
    • Instead, you use PREPRE_2 with keys that are partly from PREPRE_1 and partly from text editing.
  6. You can invoke PREPRE_2 and use the SAME KEY.REC File to generate a family of structure models.
