Re: From the KBD file: What is this ?

[cld@xxxxxxxx (Carl Distefano)]

Yes, functions are self-executing in the .KBD file, so
there's never a need to write, e.g., f,u,n,c, ,S,L; you
just write SL. The FUNC command is for executing
functions from the CMline using the same 2-character
mnemonic: FUNC SL.
