The default mode is the ASCII code mode. The following procedure assumes both a KB5000 keyboard and a 101 keyboard are attached.

NOTE: To run this program you must exit windows completely. Do not shell out from Windows.

1.With the correct programming graphics present. Select the cell you want to program by using the arrow keys on the 101 keyboard. The Up and Down arrows will select the row while the Shift and either the Right or Left arrow key will select the column.

2.Enter your programming text via the 101 keyboard. Continue programming until all the keys are programmed. It is not necessary to program all the keys for the KB5000 to function properly. The

maximum number of alphanumeric characters that can be programmed for any one key is limited only by the memory left.
