KEY DEFINE

from Your Sinclair #26 (February 1988)

This was an odd program to look at. For a start, the accompanying

'documentation' was written on the back of a Shredded Wheat packet! And

secondly the programmer signed himself "Monsignor Thurstan S Coolman

Felstead", with an OBE crossed out. (Undoubtedly the Order of Breakfast

cereal Empties!) But anyway, I loaded up the tape and found a neat Basic

key define program. The program is very simple, but I reckon all

programs should have key define options so I decided to include it here.

Also, it occurred to me that you may not all be machine code programmers,

so a pure Basic program might be of some use.



The program consists mainly of checking K$ for different values obtained

via INKEY$. The program should not be too difficult to understand, which

is just as well, as my Spectrum printer is on the blink and I can't give

you a blow-by-blow variable description. Still, you can't win 'em all.
