FKeys are similar to NDA's, CDA's, or CDev's. They are mini programs stored on disk and loaded when you boot your computer. These programs are called up inside of other programs at the press of a key sequence, something like a macro. Several utilities already use this method. FKey is written as a standard environment to prevent conflicts between these types of programs, reduce memory and disk space requirements, and improve the overall efficiency of the IIGS with many utilities installed. FKey takes advantage of a IIGS with an extended keyboard. Included with the FKey CDev are several FKey files that: Blank the Screen, Save the Screen, Change the TransWarp GS speed, Zoom a Window or Send it to the back, Change the Key Translation, and Eject Disks. Each of these FKeys can be called up with a simple keystroke sequence to immediatly give you the results you desire, when that option seemed to be left out of the program you're running. The CDev manages the FKey environment by allowing you to change the keystroke sequence assigned to the FKey (both on disk and in memory), make the FKey file Inactive, Configure the FKey (if required), and choose the location that the FKey files are kept if you don't have enough room on your boot disk. The FKey application will create a list of all FKeys in memory and save it as a text file or print it. This product is classified "Jesus-A-ware". It is the equivalent of FreeWare. It is distributed the same as God's Love. That means it's free to anyone who'll accept it. It will be given to anyone, regardless of who or what you are, or have been. It's not where you've been, but where you're going! Everyone is free to use the "JesusAware" name. Spreading the Gospel message through Software. This product is free. Give it to everyone, even if they don't have a computer! This work is a labor of love for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

This program seems to have promising potential. Drop this guy a line if you like it. I'm sure he would be happy to hear from you and how much you like his work. Otherwise, have fun!!
