Sometimes I download HP Palmtop programs from Japanese sites. Many of the Japanese programs are EXM programs, which can only be runned from System Manager. If I have 10- 15 EXM programs which I would like to check, it's nice to be able to just highlight the EXM file in Filer and press Enter. This method can also be useful if you have some EXM programs which you do not run so often, but still want to have available.
1. To have PNS200 installed (please follow the installation procedure in the documentation).
2. To have KEYSTUFF installed (please follow the installation procedure in the documentation).
3. To make a System Manager Macro.
1. Add following line in C:\_DAT\FILER.INI :
EXM=C:\BIN\PNS200.EXE %
(or the path in where you have the PNS200.EXE file).
2. Add following lines in C:\_DAT\PNS200.INI :
[Match]
.
.
*.exm=x (or a letter which is free for use)
.
.
[Menu]
.
x=Run EXM file
.
.
[Action]
.
x=c:\bin\ks.com \)\^%k\o\f\0\=\aq\t/\n\3\ap\+\0\a\2
(or the path in where you have KS.COM. Note : o is the letter o and 0 is zero).
3. Create following System macro:
{Shift+End}
Assigned to F10 or change the Keystuff macro to any other function key:
x=c:\bin\ks.com \)\^%k\o\f\0\=\aq\t/\n\3\ap\+\0\a\2
The "f\0\" is function key F10 (F10 = 0).
The reason why we must have this short System Macro is that Keystuff can't highlight a text for Copy/Cut command.
4. Install one EXM file the conventional way in the System Manager (only the first time). This EXM file must be installed as the LAST slot in the System Manager and it must remain there (to where you come when you press {END} when you are in System Manager). You must also give the program Alt+F2 as Key Assignment (or change the last 4 entries in the KS macro to another Key Assignment).
You are now ready to run EXM filer from Filer! Observe that the Keystuff macro assume that Memo is closed! You can change the Macros according to your needs.
