APPLICATION NOTE #117
 USING XYWRITE ON A ZENITH 181 AND 183
 Rev. 01
 RELATED FILES: Z181.KBD, Z181SUP.KBD


 The Zenith 181 and Zenith 183 are portable lap-top computers. They 
use an LCD display with supertwist technology and backlighting,  and 
a keyboard that is substantially different from the standard IBM 
keyboard. This application note explains the adjustments you need to 
make so you can use XyWrite on the Zenith 181 or 183.


 SCREEN DISPLAY
 To get the best screen display results with XyWrite:

 1.  Set the brightness on the Zenith computer between medium and
    maximum.

 2.  Set the contrast to medium.

 3.  Call your printer file to the screen and add the following
    settings to your printer file, before the PT (Print Type)
    tables.

      MD NM=2
      MD BO=7
      MD UL=96
      MD RV=32
      MD BU=45
      MD BR=97
      MD SU=64
      DD=38
      HN=2
      BW=1

 4.  Store and load the printer file.


 KEYBOARD
 The Zenith keyboard has just four cursor keys and does not have a 
separate numeric keypad. It has an additional shifting key, labeled 
Fn, which is used in conjunction with other keys to create the 
following functions:

  Home    Fn-Ctrl-Left Arrow
  End     Fn-Ctrl-Right Arrow
  PgUp    Fn-Ctrl-Up Arrow
  PgDn    Fn-Ctrl-Down Arrow
  Prt Sc  Fn-Ctrl-ScrollLock
  Ins     Fn-Ctrl-Del

 XYQUEST has developed two special keyboard files for use with the 
Zenith 181 and Zenith 183: Z181.KBD and Z181SUP.KBD. Both keyboard 
files set NumLock as a toggle with its own separate remappable table, 
so  NumLock  does not require use of the Fn key.  Z181SUP.KBD 
implements most of the super keyboard functions described in Appendix 
D of the XyWrite Reference Guide. The exception is the Express 
Windows function, which is usually mapped to the CapsLock position of 
the numeric keypad.

 If these files are not on your XyWrite Word Processor diskette, you 
can get them by calling Technical Support. Copy the keyboard file you 
want to use onto your working disk and then modify STARTUP.INT to 
automatically load your keyboard file.
