Extended Codes
A. Extended Functions
For certain functions that can not be represented in the
standard ASCII code, an extended code is used. A character
code of 000 (NUL) is returned in AL. This indicates that the
system or application program should examine a second
code that will indicate the actual function. Usually, but not
always, this second code is the scan code of the primary key
that was pressed. This code is returned in AH.
