100Buddy 1.0 (ON DISK ICON) 100LX

100BUDDY is a utility that adds dozens of features and keystroke shortcuts to the built-in HP 100LX applications. You can easily configure Buddy's features and automatically reload your settings each time you reboot.

FEATURES INCLUDE:

• To open a MEMO, APPT, PHONE, or 1-2-3 file, highlight the file in FILER and push (ENTER) (ENTER). Also, you can specify certain filename extensions that will cause the highlighted file to be fed to a DOS application.
• Displays your power source, main battery voltage, battery usage timer, and power-off timer values on the Filer display.
• Adds many features to Memo, including change case, swap characters, repeat previous edit, mark current line, return to marked line, save find string, and recall find string.
• Adds SmartCaps which automatically produces upper-case letters as you type text and converts gray keys to their shifted symbols without touching the shift key.
• Allows you to re-map the blue keys.
• Lets you manually turn the serial port on and off, and lock the serial port off.
• Lets you specify one of 24 preset pathnames for quick use when opening a file.
• Makes the CTRL and/or the ALT key "sticky," and changes the shift-lock function to work more like a standard typewriter.
• Lets you navigate in many common windows using the arrow keys. For example, the down-arrow key will move to the next lower field in the appointment edit window.
• Adds 10 user-specified labels to your function keys so you can easily remember which key invokes which macro.
