DM KEYS

7.0;kbd (keyboard) *DM*, revision 7.0, 83/08/15
KBD (KEYBOARD) -- Declare keyboard type.
usage:  kbd id


FORMAT

  KBD id


  NOTE: This command is valid only in the DM file `NODE_DATA/STARTUP; it may not
        be typed from the keyboard.  See the  DOMAIN  System  User's  Guide  for
        information on startup files.

  KBD  allows  you to specify that you have the low-profile keyboard attached to
  your node so that the proper set of standard key definitions may  be  applied.
  When  this command is invoked in the `NODE_DATA/STARTUP file, it causes the DM
  to execute the corresponding key definition file (/SYS/DM/STD_KEYS2).  If this
  command   is  not  invoked,  then  the  key  definitions  in  /SYS/DM/STD_KEYS
  (corresponding to the 880 keyboard) are used.


ARGUMENTS

  id
  (required)         Specify keyboard ID.  This is only necessary if  your  node
                     is  using  the  low-profile keyboard, in which case specify
                     the ID as "2".
