Esc key as permanent button

[Lubos Svoboda]

Hi,
finishing of PB/DOS programms is pretty simple (at anytime) by function key
(for example F12):
on key(31) GOSUB CAU
key (31) on
~
~

CAU:
~
END
Is any manner to replacing key F12 by Esc ?

Thanks.

Keys 15-25 can be defined by the programmer:

KEY 15, CHR$(0, 1) ' set key 15 to <ESC>

Hi Tom,

I must thank You for rapid answer. Anyway something is wrong.
F12 works on my computer but Esc does not.

Here is a source sample:

print
print "Try terminate input by Esc+Enter or by F12+Enter
print "-------------------------------------------------"
print
AGAIN:
key 15, chr$(0,1)
on key(31) GOSUB CAU
on key(15) GOSUB CAU
key (15) on
key (31) on
Input "Here is an input. I want go to CAU now"; some$
Print "String ";some$; " was inserted."
print
goto AGAIN
CAU:
Print "Program termined."
end

Maybe, I do some error.

Your program works fine here. Possibly, the scan code for <ESC> is
different on your keyboard. You might want to run the "display scan
codes for keys pressed" example in the online help, in the Keyboard
Scan Codes section. That will let you see what the scan codes are
on your computer.

It was really a keyboard problem. Now it is OK. Thanks. :-)
