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):
Key | Display | String | Key | Display | String | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
F1 | _RUN | "_RUN" | F6 (**) | color 15,4,7 | "color 15,4,7"+CHR$(13) | |
F2 | _LOAD | "_LOAD" | F7 | _QDKEY | "_QDKEY" | |
F3 | _BLOAD | "_BLOAD" | F8 | _SAVE ("QD: | "_SAVE ("+CHR$(34)+"QD:" | |
F4 (*) | list | "list" | F9 | _BSAVE ("QD: | "_BSAVE ("+CHR$(34)+"QD:" | |
F5 (*) | run | "run"+CHR$(13) | F10 | _QDFILES | "_QDFILES" |
