equivalence-string
   Specifies the command string that you want assigned to the
   function key. To preserve spaces and lowercase characters, enclose
   the string in quotation marks.

Additional information available:

/ECHO/IF_STATE/LOCK_STATE/LOG/SET_STATE
/TERMINATE

      /ECHO
      /NOECHO

   Specifies whether LATCP displays the command string on your screen
   when you press the key. The default is /ECHO. You cannot use
   /NOECHO with the /NOTERMINATE qualifier.

      /IF_STATE=state-name

   Specifies the state that must be in effect (for example, the GOLD
   state) for the key definition to take effect. Lets you assign
   alternate meanings to keys when the specified state is in effect.
   See the discussion of the /SET_STATE qualifier. If you omit the
   /IF_STATE qualifier, LATCP uses the current state. The state name
   is an alphanumeric string. States are established with the /SET_
   STATE qualifier.

      /LOCK_STATE
      /NOLOCK_STATE

   Specifies that the state set by the /SET_STATE qualifier remain
   in effect until explicitly changed. If you use the /NOLOCK_
   STATE qualifier, the state set by /SET_STATE is in effect only
   for the next defineable key that you press or for the next read
   terminating character (such as RETURN or CTRL/Z) that you type.

   The default is /NOLOCK_STATE. The /LOCK_STATE qualifier can be
   specified only with the /SET_STATE qualifier.

      /LOG
      /NOLOG

   Specifies whether LATCP displays a message confirming that the
   command was executed. The default is /NOLOG.

      /SET_STATE=state-name

   Causes the specified state to be set when you press the defined
   key. The state name can be any alphanumeric string (for example,
   GOLD). Use the DEFINE/KEY/IF_STATE=state-name command to associate
   new meanings for keys when the specified state is set. See the
   example for the DEFINE/KEY command.

   If you omit the /SET_STATE qualifier, the current state that was
   locked remains in effect.

      /TERMINATE
      /NOTERMINATE

   Specifies whether the command string will be terminated
   (processed) when you press the function key. The default is
   /NOTERMINATE, which allows you to press other keys before the
   command string is processed. Pressing RETURN has the same effect
   as using /TERMINATE.

   The /NOTERMINATE qualifier allows you to create key definitions
   that insert text into command lines, after prompts, or into other
   text that you are typing.

   LATCP> DEFINE/KEY PF4 "SHOW NODE " /NOTERMINATE/SET_STATE=GOLD
   LATCP> DEFINE/KEY PF4 "/ALL"/IF_STATE=GOLD/TERMINATE

     The first DEFINE/KEY command in this example assigns the SHOW
     NODE command to function key PF4. To process the SHOW NODE
     command, you must press RETURN after pressing PF4. Note the
     space after the word NODE in the first DEFINE/KEY command. This
     space allows you to enter a node name after pressing PF4. When
     you press RETURN, the SHOW NODE command is processed. If the
     space is omitted, LATCP would not recognize the command (SHOW
     NODE). The state is set to GOLD, to be in effect for the next
     key that you press.

     The second DEFINE/KEY command defines the use of the PF4 key
     when the keypad is in the GOLD state. When you press PF4 twice,
     the SHOW NODE/ALL command is processed.
