Qualifiers


/ECHO
      /ECHO (default)
      /NOECHO

   Displays the equivalence string on your screen after the key
   has been pressed. You cannot use the /NOECHO qualifier with the
   /NOTERMINATE qualifier.


/ERASE
      /ERASE
      /NOERASE (default)

   Determines whether the current line is erased before the key
   translation is inserted.


/IF_STATE
      /IF_STATE=(state-name,...)
      /NOIF_STATE

   Specifies a list of one or more states, one of which must be in
   effect for the key definition to work. The /NOIF_STATE qualifier
   has the same meaning as /IF_STATE=current_state. The state name
   is an alphanumeric string. States are established with the /SET_
   STATE qualifier or the SET KEY command. If you specify only one
   state name, you can omit the parentheses. By including several
   state names, you can define a key to have the same function in
   all the specified states.


/LOCK_STATE
      /LOCK_STATE
      /NOLOCK_STATE (default)

   Specifies that the state set by the /SET_STATE qualifier remain
   in effect until explicitly changed. (By default, the /SET_STATE
   qualifier is in effect only for the next definable key you press
   or the next read-terminating character that you type.) This
   qualifier can be specified only with the /SET_STATE qualifier.


/LOG
      /LOG (default)
      /NOLOG

   Displays a message indicating that the key definition has been
   successfully created.


/SET_STATE
      /SET_STATE=state-name
      /NOSET_STATE (default)

   Causes the specified state-name to be set when the key is
   pressed. (By default, the current locked state is reset when
   the key is pressed.) If you have not included this qualifier with
   a key definition, you can use the SET KEY command to change the
   current state. The state name can be any alphanumeric string;
   specify the state as a character string enclosed in quotation
   marks.


/TERMINATE
      /TERMINATE
      /NOTERMINATE (default)

   Specifies whether the current equivalence string is to be
   processed immediately when the key is pressed (equivalent to
   entering the string and pressing Return). By default, you can
   press other keys before the definition is processed. This allows
   you to create key definitions that insert text into command
   lines, after prompts, or into other text that you are entering.
