Defining Function Keys

The keys mapped as F1 through F12 can be redefined from the keyboard or by the
host. The function keys can store up to 128 characters between them and can include
escape sequences and ASCII control characters in addition to character strings. Here
we describe how to define a function key from the keyboard.
1. Display the function key menu by holding down the Ctrl key and pressing the
key mapped as Def F (refer to the keyboard illustrations overleaf).
DEF F: __ .........................................................................................................................
Field A
2. Specify the function key to be defined by entering a two-digit number in field A,
for example, 01 for F1, 12 for F12, then press Enter. Field B will display the
current definition of the function key.
DEF F: 01 E a...................................................................................................................
C
3. In field B, enter the new definition for the function key. This can include a
character string, escape sequence or control characters.
A control character is entered by typing the keyboard equivalent. For example,
the CR (carriage return) character is entered by pressing Ctrl + M. Refer to the
Character Sets appendix in the Programmer's Guide to find the keyboard
equivalents of other control characters.
The following example shows the definition entry for the F1 key so that it
displays Pericom Software then performs a carriage return when pressed:
DEF F: 01 Pericom Software
