Overview
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This directory contains the following files:

- ReadMe (this file)
- ReadMe.info (icon)

- DMakefile (makefile for DICE and Aztec C)
- AltKeyQ.c (source code)
- AltKeyQ.c.info (icon)
- AltKeyQ.cd (original catalog description in english)
- empty.ct (empty catalog translation file for localization)
- #?.ct (catalog translation files)

- AltKeyQ (executable)
- AltKeyQ.info (icon)
- catalogs/#?/FontViewQ.catalog
    (catalog files, can be copied to LOCALE:catalogs/#?)

To use AltKeyQ you have to work with:
- one Amiga running under at least AmigaOS 2.04.


Description
-----------------------------------------------------------------
AltKeyQ  is  only  a  small tool.  You can start it from Shell or
Workbench.  Then it starts with no further message.  From now on,
you  can  type in the ASCII value of a character to display while
keeping the left ALT key pressed.  This is the same behaviour you
will be used to if you are working with MS-DOS computers.  By the
time,  you  release  the ALT key, the code built from the pressed
numbers  will  be  sent  to the active application.  For example,
press left «ALT-6-5» and you get a capital A.  Since AltKeyQ is a
commodity,  you  can  activate,  inactivate  and  remove it under
control   of  the  Commodities  Exchange  program.   If  you  use
Workbench 2.1, AltKeyQ will localize itself, if the right catalog
file is existent.


Start from Shell
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The   format  is  »AltKeyQ  CX_PRIORITY/K«.   The  parameter  is
optional.   For  a  description  of  the  parameter look into the
Commodities chapter of your AmigaOS 2.x Guide.


Start from Workbench
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Just  double-click  on the icon of AltKeyQ.  Starting it a second
time will remove it from the commodities list.


The tool types
-----------------------------------------------------------------
There  is  only  the  standard  tool  type  CX_PRIORITY, which is
described in the Commodities chapter of your AmigaOS 2.x guide.


Version history
-----------------------------------------------------------------
1.0: no extras, compiled with Aztec C.


Sorry: Even locale.library cannot localize this ReadMe file.

If  you  add  one or more catalog translation files I would get a
copy to hold all translations together.  This can even be helpful
while  creating new programs with all translations in it from the
first distribution on.

Please  send bug reports, ideas and new catalog translation files
