set-esc command

The set-esc BASIC program specifies the value of the key to treat as the ESC key. This key subsequently pushes a level when pressed.

For Windows: Not Supported

Syntax

set-esc {argument} {(options}

`argument`	.hexnum	Indicates the key, designated by its corresponding hexadecimal value, to trigger a level push.
	decnum	Indicates the key, designated by its corresponding decimal value, to trigger a level push.
	off	Disables this function by defining escape as x"ff".
	esc	Defines escape as x"1B", the normal value for escape.
`options`	q	Quiet mode does not display output.

The key to trigger a level push can be redefined by indicating the decimal or hexadecimal value of the character to use in place of ESC.

Warning: Assigning an unreasonable value to the ESC key, such as ENTER, will have unpredictable results.
