Sorry if this belongs in a MSDOS newsgroup. I didn't know if there was one
and I don't have it if I did. So, if you answer this question please use
email.

I am wondering if MSDOS (3.2 or 3.3) supports programming of fuction keys?
Is there a way to set them up to do certain things? I know they are set
up to do certain things in Dos until a program or application is loaded
that tells them to do otherwise. What I would like to do is set up about
5-6 function keys with zip codes for use with a mailing list program. Instead
of having to enter the zip code each time I could just hit a certain 
function key.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Eric
