Changing the Exit Keystroke
The Alt-X keystroke for exiting from Reflection back to DOS is too close to the Alt-D (delete line) and Ctrl-X (“re-think”) keys. Accidentally pressing Alt-X and shutting down Reflection in the middle of a Visual screen is pretty disastrous. WRQ has added a “remappable keyboard” in Reflection that allows the user to specify which keys perform what functions. The exit-to-dos function can be activated by a different, harder-to-type key sequence.
To remap your keyboard in Reflection for DOS, first create a DOS file called REMAP.KBM with the following lines:
KEYBOARD-ID = ENHANCED TERM = HP alt x = null alt ctrl x = exit-to-dos
Then activate the changes by typing C:> KEYMAP REMAP.KBM R1.CFG at the DOS prompt. See your Reflection user manual for full details. Reflection for Windows also has a remappable keyboard, but uses a different method of configuring it. See your Reflection for Windows on-line help or user manual for details.
