The thing that confused me; assigning a single key-stroke for 2 commands, 'Man the AA guns', and 'Fire at Long-Range.

It works fine, but the crew first states, 'Fire at Long Range', then to 'Man the AA guns'.

I can't reverse the crew-orders, (Man AA guns 1st, then Fire Long-Range 2nd), but it doesn't matter because the command works fine.

The other confusing thing was to assign multiple key-commands ('Edit map' / Map-1, Map-2, 3, etc.). I figured why bother with this, since my custom commands were already assigned to single key-commands. Then it finally clicked!

For instance, I had (or made) single key-maps for 'return to course', 'full down-periscope', 'surface the boat' and 'weather report'. To combine all commands to a new keystroke, -that's- when I needed to add some redundant keystrokes, using the 'Edit Map' Map-1, Map-2 option. It's a very nice feature.

I see there's 286 commands available, and only 181 are mapped. Time to look around for more keys and shortcut commands.

This is a very slick and well thought-out program. Did you create Setkeys on your own? If you're still in school, it might be a really good idea to pursue a career in custom coding/programming applications.

(When in school, I probably spent too much time picking my nose, and staring at girls! )

Thanks again.

p.s. does anyone know if there's a Command Name to display the 'Battery-Oxegen-Co2' screen? If not I'll try one of the slide-out mods.

I'm glad you got it to work.

There are quite a few unmapped commands, and there are some that don't seem to do anything. One thing to be careful about is changing the movement commands. The are a little strange, and fairly complex. Always back up!

As far as I can see, there is no command for the battery-oxygen-co2 screen, unfortunately. The slideout mods are great though

I did create SetKeys myself, and thank you. I actually am in the computer programming program, with a side of networking. I'm to old to stare at the little girls in this college (young enough to be my daughters, most of them), and not old enough to start picking my nose in public.

Feel free to post further questions or comments!
