As you enter the key sequence to be
stored, the characters are simultaneously
output to the system and displayed on
the screen to let you keep track of what
has already been entered. While you are
programming the keyboard, the key
sequences to be stored are
simultaneously output to the system, so
if you are running a text editor or word
processing program you can double-
check the character strings on-screen. In
other words, programming is done
"online".

system.
