| INKEY$ Function Details |
| |
| Syntax |
| INKEY$ |
| |
| The INKEY$ function returns a one- or two-byte string containing |
| a character read from the standard input device. A null string is |
| returned if no character is waiting there. A one-character string |
| contains the actual character read from the keyboard, while a two- |
| character string indicates an extended code, the first character |
| of which is hexadecimal 00. |
| |
| See Keyboard Scan Codes Table and the |
| ASCII Character Codes Table for a complete list |
| of these codes. |
| |
| The standard input device is usually the keyboard. INKEY$ does |
| not echo characters to the screen; instead, all characters are |
| passed through to the program except for the following: |
| |
| ž CTRL+BREAK, which halts program execution |
| ž CTRL+ALT+DEL, which does a system reboot |
| ž CTRL+NUMLOCK, which causes program execution to pause |
| ž PRTSC, which prints the screen |
