They enable a whole string to be written on the screen by the
press of a SINGLE function key or shift function key.
How to record a softkey:
1) Either double-click on the line associated with the key you
wish to program, or hit your chosen function key (or shift function
key) to begin recording. (ALLOWABLE: F2 - F12, & SHIFT F2 -
SHIFT F12)
2) Anything you press on the keyboard now OR select from the
Special Keys column will be part of the softkey program. You are
allowed up to 30 keystrokes. If you find that the softkey works too
fast and leaves out some text, pls. insert a PAUSE (this represents
a 500ms delay between keystrokes).
3) Hit the same function key again to stop recording.
4) Test the softkey in a test conversation.
