Additional Information
This ssys.3ad file defines most of the keywords (i.e. macro/keyword names) used by PTC ALD . Upon examining this file, you will see that there are a few keywords defined by the verb macro, rather then by uverb. These are all system level macros and their names should not be changed as some of them are used internally by PTC ALD. The remainder of the file consists of groups of uverb macros (note: uverb is itself a system macro defined by verb). Each keyword defined by uverb has a group number and one or more verb names. There are comments in the file at the beginning of each group to identify what it is for:
' verb 1: keyboard substitutions
uverb 1,"kud"
uverb 1,"kdu"
uverb 1,"kdn"
uverb 1,"klf"
uverb 1,"kup"
uverb 1,"krt"
The position of verb and uverb names within each numbered group is important (for example, PTC ALD knows that the 10th uverb of group 1002 is a macro for printing documents, in this case the tprint macro). You can edit the uverb entries in ssys.3ad if you wish to add aliases or translate them to another language. You must not, however, change the order in which they appear.
