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".
