Abstract
We have lots of fun with the user‐defined function keys on our M300 Workstation. To illustrate principles that you might apply in Interlibrary Loan or in another OCLC subsystem, we'd like to share some of our uses. That single row of buttons rivals in its way the Constant Data record and, yes, even the ILL Micro Enhancer software (ILL ME) as a powerful and versatile processing tool.

Abstract
You can design sequences that use one function key to work on the results of another. In this way you can complete an entire ILL workform, sending fields in batches, and only rarely need to use the arrow keys. We've developed two related sequences‐one for book requests, the other to help you through requests for article photocopies. (The techniques used here were discussed in more detail in “Fun with M300 Function Keys,” OCLC Micro, vol. 2, no. 4, beginning on p. 21.)

Abstract
This article describes a record‐keeping software package for ILL developed by the authors and programmed by Michael DeCorte and Gary Levin. ILLFILE can pick up information from any field of the OCLC ILL workform so that data for CONTU copyright compliance and other needs can be collected by computer (through included sorting and duplicate‐detection software) rather than manually.

Abstract
Discusses the use of the ILLFILE program for lending record‐keeping in addition to the more usual copyright limit control. Examines the steps needed to allow ILLFILE to perform the function, how to sort the records, using the Update command, using ILLVIEW, and producing reports. Surmises that using ILLFILE allows records of incoming and outgoing requests with only the additional step of inserting a computer disk in the daily routine.
