Function Key Logical Sets

Within a given set, you can send twice as many
messages as you have function keys. Pressing a
key alone sends one message, and pressing the
same key with
Shift
sends another.
The
AT keyboard has
12
function keys, the ASCII
keyboard has
16
function keys, and the DEC key-
board has
13
programmable function keys.
Each function key set holds up to 256 characters
(bytes), apportioned among the 32 keys as you
wish. You can load any message orcommand into
a function key, such as your logon sequence, an
