Hotkeys version 1.51, Copyright  SheAr software

Introduction
------------
Give your poor mouse a break with Hotkeys. Hotkeys is similar to the Microsoft 
Intellitype software, in that it gives you fast and easy access to a lot of common 
Windows 95 elements through keyboard shortcuts. 

Hotkeys does this and a lot more. Use it to define hotkeys to launch applications 
such as Control Panel applets or frequently used programs; send keystrokes to other 
applications; exit Windows, log-off Windows, or reboot your computer; switch to one 
of Hotkeys' built-in virtual clipboards; quickly access some of Hotkeys' internal 
functions such as its editor or hotkey list. Hotkeys works with nearly every key on 
your keyboard, including that seldom-used Windows key. You can even instruct Hotkeys 
to execute multiple Hotkeys commands sequentially, making it the ideal tool for 
scripting tasks you have to perform often.

How To Use Hotkeys
------------------
Simply run the supplied installation program (HKSETUP.EXE). This will copy the 
Hotkeys program, the sample hotkey definition files (Hotkeys.hkd and Signature.hkd), 
the Hotkeys helpfile and two utility files (HKRESTRT.EXE and HKTODOS.PIF) to the 
directory C:\Program Files\Hotkeys. It also starts the Hotkeys application 
(you can see it appear as a key with an H on it in the system tray). The 
installation program also adds an entry in the registry that causes Hotkeys to 
be started every time you start Windows. If you press a hotkey defined in the 
hotkey definition file, Hotkeys will perform the associated action (e.g. starting 
an application, switching clipboards, sending keystrokes etc). You can see that 
Hotkeys works by looking at the tray-icon: an animation of a key being pressed is 
played every time you press a registered hotkey.

To edit the hotkey definitions, right click on the Hotkeys tray-icon and 
select Edit hotkeys from the popup-menu or press Win+H. This will bring up 
the Hotkey editor, where you can add, edit or delete hotkey definitions.

PostcardWare
------------
The Hotkeys program and the accompanying source-files are PostcardWare, 
which essentially stands for: if you like this software, send me a Postcard 
from Ware you live). This means that youre completely free to use or modify 
it to suit your needs, with just a few restrictions:

-  The original copyright remains with the author of the software.  
-  It is not allowed to sell this package as a whole pretending you wrote 
   it or otherwise distribute it under your own name. 
-  You are encouraged to distribute this package to anybody you like, but

-  Youre not allowed to ask money for the distribution of this package.
-  If you use (portions of) the source-code in your own programs, you dont 
   have to mention my name in the credits or about-box. You do have a moral 
   obligation to send me a postcard of your hometown however.  Please tell 
   me where you found Hotkeys and what you think of the program. Bug-reports 
   and suggestions for improvements are also welcomed.
-  If you dont use the source-code, but you like the Hotkeys program, 
   youre also encouraged to send me a postcard of your hometown.
-  Unless there's a critical error with the software, I usually only respond 
   to e-mails about the software if your postcard is in the mail.

Send those postcards to:
