 The three letter code, yyy represents the code page that defines the character set (refer to the GRAFTABL command for more information on code page usage).
 
 The filename you specify is the keyboard definition file.
 If you use this command without options , the program will display the current keyboard code setting, the related code page, and the current code page setting.
 
 You can change from the current KEYB setting to the United States keyboard format by pressing and holding the Ctrl key while pressing the Alt and F1 keys simultaneously. Return to the previous KEYB setting by pressing and holding the Ctrl key while pressing the Alt and F2 keys simultaneously.

 4 An error was encountered during communication with the COM device
