Defining VIS Shortcut Key

VIS shortcut keys are defined in the file VISKEYS.INI which must be located in the same directory as the main VIS program. The format of this file is a standards Windows INI file format with two main sections.
[CommandToCode]
Contains the mapping between VIS commands and their corresponding numerical equivalent. This section should not be modified.
[KeyToCommand]
Using the text commands defined in the previous section, this section specifies the assignment of commands to specific keys. The keys are referenced by their virtual key names as specified in the Virtual Key Codes Appendix. To specify control and shift modifiers, add –C or –S to the end of the virtual key code name. For keys without a virtual key code name, use the form ASCII_xx where xx is the hexidecimal representation of the ASCII character code.
