Nota Bene Help ResourcesDraft List of codes that work in NB5
Compiled by Mary Bernard
NB: I have tested some of these codes, but by no means all.
? beside a line means that Im not sure of something about it: how it works; how it should be input (especially with a few duplicates); or even whether the definition is correct.
I got codes from: NB.DLG; NB.KBD; lists posted during 1999 by Enrique Lynch; a list in the latest NB.HLP; NB.DFL; and also from trying out commands that worked in NB4.
This list includes functions, variables, 2-letter keyboard codes, 3-byte command codes, commands executable from the command line, etc. In most cases there is an abbreviation in brackets at the end of the line, e.g. [KB]. It indicates one place where the code will work. Some codes (using the term loosely to cover all of the above categories) will work in more than one way. For instance, you can put the 3-byte code BC in a program with pfunc, and the 2-character code BC in a keyboard definition.
Some codes change function depending on where they turn up. AS means alternate screen in the keyboard or when put in a program with pfunc, but argument string when enclosed in command brackets.
print-friendly NBWin copy of this Code List | << | When executed from the command line, these are put into a program within command brackets. |
| [CMD] | These work as commands when executed from the command line (and come from a page in the NB5 Help file). |
| [DFL] | These come from \NB5\USERS\DEFAULT\NB.DFL. They can be changed permanently; or temporarily with the commands: F9 default XX=yy F10 or: F9 d XX=yy F10 I have included the defaults in my own NB.DFL as examples. |
| [KB] | These occur in NB.KBD as 2-character codes |
| [F3] | If executed from the command line, these open a window which you close with F3 |
| [Pfunc] | These can be entered in a program with pfunc, which in NB5 is on Ctrl semicolon |
| [XYWrite] | These are a last-minute addition, copied from a XYWrite file (Xywweb.Inf) downloaded from the XYWrite web site. I havent tested them; they may or may not work in NB5 |
