Define Function Keys
Posted: Wed Aug 28, 2019 1:22 pm
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!
