POSIFLEX Business Machines KB3200 user manual Shortcut Utility RWM.EXE

D. SHORTCUT UTILITY (RWM.EXE)

The feature of this RWM.EXE is designed mainly for the off-line programming purpose and is very useful in quick reproduction of the preprogrammed contents of the programmable keyboard. In such application, the user should have either the preprogrammed keyboard or the preprogrammed file with “.tpl” extension name which is the result of the keyboard programming. The user may use RWM.EXE to directly transfer the programmed result of the programmable keyboard to a “.tpl” file or directly transfer a prestored “.tpl” file to a programmable keyboard without entering the utility “KBM.EXE” which may take more keystrokes. For instance, the user wants to transfer a file “XXX.tpl”, which was saved before, to the programmable keyboard, he/she should type in following command in subdirectory “POSIFLEX.D”:

RWM XXX.tpl (enter)

This operation is quite recommended to be performed on a daily basis to ensure the system stability.

On the other hand, when the user wants to save the contents of a programmed keyboard, e.g. when he/she newly receives a programmable keyboard, to a file named “YYY.tpl”, he/she should type in following command in subdirectory “POSIFLEX.D”:

RWM –r YYY.tpl (enter)

In this application, the user must be careful on the housekeeping of these template files and never mix such files with those originated from other programmable keyboard. In other words, transferring a file generated from other programmable keyboard to KB3200 series could mess up the data format inside KB3200 series, and vice versa.
