7.5 The emulation utilities
MT9750 contains some utilities to help you with your work. You can find the uti-
lities under the Utilities menu.
7.5.1 Programmable keys (P keys)
MT9750 supports the 9750 terminal function of programmable keys. The pro-
grammable keys are labeled P1 to P20 on the original device keyboard and on
the trimodal keyboard and can be programmed by the user directly or via the
host application.
In addition, MT9750 offers user-defined P keys (labeled ‘P1’ through ‘P20’),
which cannot be overwritten by host applications.
If you are using a standard PC keyboard, you can get an overview of the PC
keys that correspond to the P keys under Keyboard Mappings in the Settings:
menu.
Programmable keys can be assigned a key sequence. In this way, for example,
you can assign P1 a BS2000 command such as PRINT, for example. The assi-
gnment of keys is described in the next two sections “Recording programmable
keys” and “Editing programmable keys”.
The assignment of programmable keys is valid for the current session and is
saved with the session; this means you only have to set the assignment once
when you are configuring the session.
Host applications (e.g. the BS2000 program PLUS) can overwrite the pro-
grammable key assignment. In this case, the letter H in the status line
informs you that the assignment of the (standard) P keys has changed;
user-defined P keys are not affected.
There are two utilities available for assigning the P keys:
– The P key editor (Utilities menu: Programmable Keys Edit...)
– The P key recorder (Utilities menu: Record Programmable Key).
