What is the magic that the Open-Apple and Closed-Apple keys perform?  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!")
