Location (702) contains the shift/control lock flag.
0 == no locks on,
64 == caps lock on (the normal state in BASIC at least),
128 == control lock on.

Location (756) selects the upper or lower case character set
for use in screen modes 1 and 2. In normal text mode, location (756)
is the pointer to the display character set memory page, allowing one
to redefine their displayed character fonts by entering a 1024 byte
bit map and storing the starting page of that map into (756)

Hope that helps. (Info was from "Your ATARI Computer", Ion Poole,
Osborne/McGraw-Hill)
