After mapping these keys and executing the code, you can press any of those

mapped keys and the quoted text will result, followed by the character at the end

of the line (13p, 32p, etc).

ANSI.SYS defines functions that change display graphics, control cursor moveĆ

ment, and reassign keys.  The ANSI.SYS device driver supports ANSI terminal

emulation of escape sequences to control sequence of ASCII characters, the first

two of which are the escape character (1Bh) and the left bracket character (5Bh).

The character, or characters, that follow these two preliminary characters, speciĆ

fy an alphanumeric code that controls a keyboard or display function.
When you redefine keys, using ANSI.SYS, place the echo on" before the

prompt" statements, so all escape sequences are echoed to the screen; therefore

executing the redefinitions through ASNI.SYS functions.  There are other

switches allowed with ANSI.SYS.  See DOS help on ANSI.SYS for information.

The following paragraphs describe the operation of Windows for the PEN*KEY

6000 Series HandĆHeld Computers and examines some noteworthy design asĆ

pects, to help you understand the concept.  Some of these topics include:

"

A little background information about memory.

"

A highĆlevel view of memory, as it applies to the PEN*KEY 6000 Series

computers compared to a standard desktop PC:

"

The typical memory organization of a standard PC, including a pictoĆ

rial view of memory, and how each area of memory is used.

"

A summary of the different types of memory.

"

A list of the commands and statements used in the CONFIG.SYS file

and the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, and descriptions of their usage.

"

Descriptions of Windows, Storage Devices and Memory, as it relates to

the PEN*KEY 6000 Series HandĆHeld Computers.

How the PEN*KEY 6000 Series system works.

Standard mode vs. Enhanced mode.

Some nonĆWindows Systems.

When a typical PC is first turned on, it performs a cold boot.  Many pieces of softĆ

ware are loaded into the PC's executable memory, or RAM, during the coldĆboot.

The first thing that loads is the BIOS.  On a notebook or desktop PC, the BIOS is

usually stored in a ROM chip on the main CPU board (motherboard).  After the

BIOS is loaded, DOS is loaded into the random access memory (RAM).  In a maĆ

chine that is set up to run in a Windows environment, Windows is the next item

loaded.  Finally, an application is selected to run, which is loaded into the RAM.
