set-esc Command

For Windows: Not Supported

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.

Syntax

set-esc {argument} {(options}

Parameter(s)

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.
