Effect

Modifies the contents of all function keys except F7 when a Quick Disk drive is connected.

When booting a MSX computer with a Quick Disk Drive connected, the contents of most function keys are modified and CALL QDKEY is a way to switch between these contents and the standard contents for all keys except F7.

Notes:

• You can also press the F7 function key
• To go back completely to the default function keys, you need to use DEFUSR=&H3E : X=USR(0) : KEY ON
• To change manually the content of a specific function key, you need to use the KEY() command.

Syntax

CALL QDKEY (<Number>)

Parameter

<Number> can be 0 or any other number:

• if you enter CALL QDKEY (0), the function key strings will go back to the default strings defined by the MSX system, except for F7
• if you use a number different from zero or don't specify a number, you will go back to the contents of the function keys as it was after booting the computer connected to a Quick Disk drive

Function keys

After booting a MSX computer with a Quick Disk Drive connected, the contents of the function keys are as follows (you can check that with KEY LIST):

(*) Generally unchanged
(**) Unchanged on Japanese machines, Korean machines, Philips VG-8000 and VG-8010 (not the 8010F version), Sanyo PHC-28S
