Like many parts of MSFS, the kneeboard wasn't designed to be easily
extensible. In ...\FS9\Aircraft\c172 (substitute the a/c you want to
modify) there are two html files, ..._ref.htm and ..._check.htm. You
should be able to modify those to add your own information. MS Word can
edit the HTML.

If you want to do larger modifications, like adding a screen (as Moving
Map does), you might start by downloading the SDKs from the MSFS
website. Expect to spend a long time learning.

Or in the case of FS2002, the files are [aircraft]_ref.txt and
[aircraft]_check.txt - also, [aircraft]_notes.txt for the notes
section of the kneeboard. Key Commands would seem to be "hard wired"
into the program.
