What's with that Dragon Quest enemy watch code?

There's a Dragon Quest 1 (MSX) code on several Japanese code sites to be able to see or change all the enemies, I don't know where is supposed to do that exactly.

The Japanese code reads as this:
敵キャラ鑑賞コマンド
電源を入れたら,TABキー,SHIFTキー,CAPキー,スペースキー,カーソルの左・右・下の7つのキーを同時に押してそのまましばらく待つと,敵キャラを鑑賞できるモードになる。このモードではスペースキーを押すと次の敵へ進む。

From another site:
電源を入れてすぐ、「TAB」+「SHIFT」+「CAP」+「SPACE」+「右」+「左」+「下」を同時に押しながら起動させる。

Translation:
press and hold down Tab, Shift, Cap, Space, Left, Down, Right at the same time while turning on the power.

It apparently allows you change the enemy during battle by pressing the space key.

But I've held all those keys while turning the power on and at several other locations and I still don't see what it's supposed to do (I used joy2key to be able to press all 7 keys with just 3 controller buttons). Problem with pressing the Space key to "change enemies" during battle is that the space key is also the key to accept a command. So I just end up killing the enemy. I've pressed the space key on other locations and it just opens the menu.

Has anyone tried this code or is this another fake code?
