moves the cursor back to the previous tab position, if there is
one.
Characters that don't appear on the keycaps can be typed by using this
key.
Assumf' you arf' typing a program linf' and you want the vertical
bar character (and it is not on your keyboard, for example). Press the
I
ANY CHAR
I
key. The following message appears below the current line:
ENTER 3 DIGITS, 000 THRU 255
For instance, the decimal ASCII code for a vertical bar is 124. Press the

number keys. A vertical bar appears at the cursor position, and
the message goes away. If a key that is not part of a 3-digit number in the
proper range is pressed during this operation, the ANY CHAR operation is
aborted and the key performs its normal function. (By the way, the vertical
bar character is available on the 98203 keyboard; press
I
SHIFT ~rn
on the
numeric keypad.)
These keys produce characters and system-key presses, just as if you had
typed them at the keyboard. See the "Using Typing-Aid Softkeys" section
of the "Introduction to the BASIC System" chapter for details.
