To carry on from Christopher Chadwick's insights (EUG #9) into making View a friendlier piece of software, I enclose my DFS !BOOT file. It can of course be altered to suit your own needs (i.e ADFS by loading it into View, editing and then saving). Below is a listing with a few comments to explain what is happening.
*BASIC
*TV0,1 ........../ Stops screen flicker/turns off interlacing.
*FX228,1 ........../ Allows the function keys to be programmed.
*FX202,48 ........../ Switches off CAPS LOCK.
*WORD
*KEY 0 "*DRIVE 0|M*CAT|M*FREE|M"
*KEY 1 "*DRIVE 1|M*CAT|M*FREE|M"
*KEY 2 "*DRIVE 2|M*CAT|M*FREE|M"
*KEY 3 "*DRIVE 3|M*CAT|M*FREE|M"
*KEY 4 "*ACCESS *.* L|M"
*KEY 5 "*ACCESS *.*|M"
*KEY 6 "SHEETS|M" ............ / Can be changed to PRINT
*KEY 7 "COUNT|M"
*KEY 8 "|S|A|G| | | |M|S| |D| | |@|M" / White on blue.
*KEY 9 "|S|A|P| | | |M|S| |G| | |@|M" / Black on white.
MODE128 ..../ Mode 0 shadow on - compatible BBC B+ etc.
SETUP FI ..../ Sets Justification OFF & Formatting & Insert ON.
PRINTER FX105 ../ LOADs printer driver assuming its on the disk.
NEW ..../ Clear screen and set ruler to 80 column.
*CAT
*FREE
To set up green text, black background change either *KEY 8/9 to:
"|S|A|B| | | |M|S|@|@|@|@|@|M"
Don't forget to set the auto !BOOT option with *OPT 4 3.
