RPAL Switches
/I switch — Installing RPAL as TSR Program — You can
install
RPAL as a terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR)
program. As a
TSR program, RPAL is accessible from MS-DOS
and most applications by pressing a hot key (defined by the
/Kc switch described on the next page). To install
RPAL as a
TSR program, at the C:\> prompt type RPAL /I and press
ENTER.
If you do not include the /Kc switch, the computer uses
ALT-P as the default hot key.
/U Switch — Removing
RPAL From RAM — If RPAL is
installed as a
TSR program and you want to remove RPAL
from RAM, at the C:\> prompt type RPAL /U and press
ENTER.
RPAL is deleted from
RAM but not from the hard disk; you
can reinstall
RPAL at any time at the MS-DOS prompt.
