These are the files you need. You can send them from the package contents below.

• QKEYS.EXE → A:\SOFT programa de DOS 8.4 KB
• PWRMON.EXM → A:\SOFT aplicación del System Manager 12.8 KB
• PWRMON.ICN → A:\SOFT icono, junto a su aplicación 200 B

No need to put PWRMON.TXT, QKEYS.TXT: they are manuals, source code or supporting material. Read them here and save 16.9 KB on a 1 MB disk.

1. Copy PWRMON.EXM to A:\SOFT. It is a System Manager application: register it in App Manager with F2 (Add), giving the full path (for example A:\SOFT\PWRMON.EXM).
2. The 200LX takes 8 EXM applications at most. Check with F8 (List) in App Manager: an asterisk in the Status column means the quota is full and you will need MoreEXM.
3. Copy QKEYS.EXE to A:\SOFT. They are DOS programs: run them from the DOS icon, or add A:\SOFT to the PATH in C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT to call them by name.
4. The .ICN files are icons: they go in the same folder as their application.

Derived from the package contents and the 200LX conventions. It installs to A: on purpose: C: is a RAM disk and every byte there is memory taken from the system.

The manual mentions these files, which are in the archive:

• KeyStuff KSTUFF

Copy the following file to your HP-200LX:

    qkeys.exe     Keystroke queuing utility


---  Using QKeys  ---

QKeys is not intended to be used from the command line (i.e.
at the DOS prompt). It is intended to be used in a batch
file. The syntax is quite simple:

  qkeys [keylist]

where [keylist] is one or more key mnemonics. The key
mnemonics used by QKeys are identical to those used by
the built-in macro application. For character keys, it
is simply those characters. For non-character keys, it
is a keyname enclosed in curly braces "{}". So, for
example, to queue a key sequence to start the phonebook
application and search for the name "Baggins", you
would use:

  qkeys {phone}{f10}{f10}baggins{enter}

The {f10}{f10} is in case there is a record open in
and you are editing a note. Any excess {f10}
keystrokes will cause no harm. {enter} is needed to
exit locate mode. As you can see, case is unimportant
within key mnemonics.

You can determine the mnemonics used for any keystroke
by recording a macro consisting of that keystroke, and
then opening the macro application to see what the
mnemonic was.

There is one exception to using a character to represent
that character: you must use the mnemonic {space} to
represent the space character.


---  Notes  ---

There are other programs that perform similar functions
to QKeys. Some are more robust, and most are smaller
than QKeys. I wrote QKeys to be easy to use, by using
key mnemonics identical to those used by the built-in
macro application. Other programs use either scancodes
or somewhat, er, non-intuitive mnemonics.

Personally, the utility I prefer, and the one I use, is
"keystuff" by Craig Payne. Keystuff is freeware, works
