The new values are as follows: Keys Input Code Line Delete/CTRL-U 0015 Character Delete/DEL 007F SPACEBAR 0006 BACKSPACE 000B PLUS 002B MINUS 002D BACKTAB 0002 ESC 001B TAB 0009 Carriage Return/ENTER 000D LineFeed/ENTER 000A F1 0201 F2 0202 F3 0203 F4 0204 F5 0205 F6 0206 F7 0207 F8 0208 F9 0209 F10 020A F11 020B F12 020C F13 020D F14 020E F15 020F UP ARROW 0100 DOWN ARROW 0101 LEFT ARROW 0102 RIGHT ARROW 0103 Please note that in the program, INCHC.ASM, the entry to procedure INTRANS is now AX instead of AL. In the exit, AX will be the legal code (if evaluated as such) and will be 0FFFFH if illegal.
