My Apple ][+ obviously lacks them; I sat down with a //e and wrote a Basic hack with a GET statement to see what they do, and I've learned that they do NOT do either of the following: 1. Generate any character that a GET statement can see. [My hack sat and waited forever...] 2. Modify the apparent ASCII values of normal keys. [PRINT ASC(A$) pro- duces the same result with Open-Apple and A together as with A alone.] So what DO they do? Any help will be appreciated. Cheers, Dick Binder ("Beware the Jabberwock, my son!")
