## Comments:

      KEYMAN can only be loaded if XKEYB is already resident in memory.
      It is activated by a Hotkey (F11 by default). After activation KEYMAN
      will pop up a window on the display. Now you can either press a key to
      which you want to assign a new macro, or press the Hotkey again to
      redefine it.
      If you pressed a key which already had a macro assigned to it, the
      current macro will be printed in the window. This macro can be edited by
      using the BACKSPACE key to erase the displayed keystrokes (to include a
      BACKSPACE keystroke as part of the macro, press ALT and "8" on the
      numeric keypad). After pressing the Hotkey again the macro will be
      allocated and the window will disappear.
      Note:
      If the key you pressed did NOT already have a macro assigned to it,
      that key will be defaulted as the first keystroke of the macro
      (i.e. if you pressed CTRL-D, the macro will initially consist of the
      keystroke "CTRL-D").
      If the new macro consisted of more than one character, an XString will
      be automatically created and assigned to the key (if enough XString
      space was allocated via the /Xnn switch when XKEYB was installed).
      If you pressed the Hotkey after the activation of KEYMAN, KEYMAN will
      ask you to press the new Hotkey. After pressing a key the window will
      disappear and the key pressed will become the new Hotkey.
      If you want to save an interactively created key allocation, then you
      can do this by using the command LISTXDEF >xyz.KEY
      KEYMAN comes with the packet XKEYB.
