Define Function Keys

[hendrb01]

Now that I have a DEV system setup on my workstation, (Using wince x128, on my Mac on a Windows 10 VMware Fusion VM), How is that for convoluted?

I would like to start converting some Image BBS +. files over to C-Net 128. however I had forgotten that the 128 boots with predefined MACROS assigned to it's function keys, which does not facilitate programming with C-Net AT ALL!

C-Net uses special control characters that perform various things when outputting text to the screen and modem, such as F5 (Prints a reversed UPPERCASE K to the screen.), which sends a CARRIAGE RETURN/LINE FEED to the screen and modem.

You need to reassign the default key values to your function keys to print this character in the BASIC editor.

So I wrote a quick BASIC 7.0 program to do this!

So, there is my first BASIC program written in about 25 years!
