Re: A plea for clarity

Carl:
Thanks for IFF10.ZIP! IDKEY.PM is what ctrl-alt-shift-k (KeyDiag) ought to
be but isn't. I've assigned it to ctrl-alt-k.

A question: in the .doc file it says:
RUN FINDKEY.PM fn|$  (if argument only two characters long)

I understand that the "|" means "or" but what does the "$" mean? Does
it
mean you precede something by a dollar sign to get a certain result? That
doesn't seem right given that it is followed by this:
 RUN FINDKEY.PM string (argument of any length)

I tried playing around with dollar signs and couldn't figure it out. I may
be dense, but I don't get it.

Incidentally, here's one of those really simple-minded pgms that saves a lot
of pointless keystrokes for those of us who tinker a lot with our .kbd files
(I put it on alt-k):

BC saXC BC ldkbd XC

Yes, it's trivial, but if you don't already have some version of this,
you're missing out.

Regards,
Harry
