Hot-Key String Syntax Hot-key definitions are composed of one or more keystrokes. The first character of a hot-key string may not be alphanumeric. For a hot-key definition which consists of more than one keystroke, the first keystroke will usually be a control character, a function key, or some other infrequently used key on your keyboard. The syntax for specifying a control character is to enclose the control character name in angle brackets. For instance, "<ESC>" is used for an escape character, and "<CTRL-D>" is used for a Control-D character. For a full list of available character names, see the PEEK Hot-Keys Subtopic: Character-Codes. Hot-key strings may be up to 16 characters long. Note: "<ESC>" would be counted as one character, whereas, "<F6>" is counted as 5 characters since it actually generates the string "<ESC>{17". All hot-key strings should be surrounded by double quotes. If you wish to put a double quote into a string, you must enter two double quotes within the enclosing double quotes. E.g. /END_WATCH="<CTRL-A>""" The above means that watching will be terminated when the user types a Control A followed by a double quote character. Hot-key strings which include alphabetic characters are handled in such a way that the case of the alphabetic character is ignored. For example, the recognition string "<ESC>A" will also be recognized as "<ESC>a". To make hot-key definitions case-sensitive, precede the character with a backwards slash. For example, "<ESC>\a" will be recognized ONLY when an escape is followed by a lowercase letter A. In order to place a backslash ("\" or a less-than symbol ("<") into a string, enter two of them in a row. E.g. END_WATCH="<CTRL-P>\\".
