AUTOSTRT executes a DEF KEY for character 159

it

run
the
AUTOST
program when the HP-75 is turned on.
If you subsequently redefine
character 159 to some other operation, that

of
your AUTOST program.
For example, DEF KEY CHR$(159),'HELLO';
will cause HELLO to be displayed in your HP-75 at turn-on, and your AUTOST
program will not run.
