Just a quick question for y'all: How do I reference the function keys as
a valid input key (in BASIC). For example, I have the program set up to
accept certain keys as a valid input (if inkey = 'm' or if inkey = 'M'
then var1(x) = 'M'). I'd like to use the function keys if I could...
what's the correct syntax for this?

Thanks in advance....

CHR$(0) + ";"   THEN it's the F1 key has been pressed
CHR$(0) + "<   THEN it's the F2 key has been pressed
CHR$(0) + "=  THEN it's the F3 key has been pressed
CHR$(0) + ">   THEN it's the F4 key has been pressed
CHR$(0) + "?   THEN it's the F5 key has been pressed

You don't say what version of Basic you have, but if it's Qbasic, the
help files include a chart of the key scan codes.  When you press an
F-key or an arrow or certain other keys, inkey$ is a 2-character string
where the first character is chr$(0).  F1=chr$(0)+chr$(59),
F2=chr$(0)+chr$(60), and so on.
