#Bridgeboard Help
4 messages in this thread
All experts,
I have a program that I want to run on my bridgeboard, the only program
actually, so my problem may just be my setup. The program wont run because the
first thing it wants me to do is enter "Alt + Esc" to acknowledge a change.
If I use Right Alt I end up in the Setup Screen, Left Alt + Esc does not appear
to be recognized.
Is ther any way to edit the Keymap (or something) to let me make this work. The
program has worked otherwise but has always had this problem. I could bypass it
previously because of the way the program works, now however it is the first
thing it needs!!
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Leonard,
Do you have any commodities, etc., assigned to keys on the Amiga side? These
will override the commands on the Bridgeboard side. For instance, I had
Shift-F1 assigned to my Amiga screenblanker, and it overrode the Setup for
WordPerfect, which also uses Shift-F1. I would press Shift-F1 and nothing would
happen on the PC screen. The screenblanker window would pop up on the Amiga
screen, but I wouldn't know it was there, because I was looking at the PC
screen.
Also, you might be having a keyboard problem that happens occasionally for no
particular reason that I know of. You press the Alt key (or the Shift or Ctrl
keys) and it stays "pressed", so you get conflicts. For example, if the Ctrl
key was "stuck" (not the key itself, but the effect), and you pressed Alt Esc,
what you'd actually get is Ctrl Alt Esc. The solution is to press the offending
key again–it releases it. Weird, huh?
