KBD (KEYBOARD) -- Declare keyboard type.
usage:  kbd {(blank)|2|3}


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 the keyboard that is 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_KEYS,  /SYS/DM/STD_KEYS2,  or
  /SYS/DM/STD_KEYS3).

  If  this command is not invoked in the `NODE_DATA/STARTUP file, the DM will do
  the following.  It will first test for a low-profile Model II keyboard and, if
  one  is attached, it will use 'KBD 3'.  If a Model II keyboard is not present,
  the DM will then default to 'KBD 2' (low-profile Model I keyboard).


ARGUMENTS

                     keyboard, '2' for the low-profile Model I keyboard, and '3'
                     for the low-profile Model II keyboard.
