EVE SET_NOGOLD_KEY — VMS 5.5-2H4

 SET NOGOLD KEY

 (Default.)  Cancels (undefines) the current GOLD key, so you can define
 that key by itself.

 Example:

    The following commands set the F17 key as GOLD, and then enable the EDT
    keypad, which ordinarily makes PF1 the GOLD key.  SET NOGOLD KEY then
    cancels your GOLD key (F17), making PF1 the EDT GOLD key.

       Command: SET GOLD KEY F17
       Command: SET KEYPAD EDT
       Command: SET NOGOLD KEY

 Usage notes:

 o  SET NOGOLD KEY does not cancel or undefine GOLD sequences, but they
    cannot be executed unless another key is set as GOLD, either by using
    SET GOLD KEY or by setting the EDT keypad or WPS keypad.

 o  If you use the EDT or WPS keypad and set a key other than PF1 as the
    GOLD key, then SET NOGOLD KEY restores PF1 as the EDT or WPS GOLD key
    (see example above).

 o  Learn sequences created with GOLD key sequences will not "replay"
    properly, because there is no GOLD key or a different GOLD key.
