SET FUNCTION


Syntax:     SET FUNCTION <expN> TO <expC>

Purpose:    To assign a character string to a function key.

Argument:   <expN> is the function key number.

            <expC> is the character string to assign to a function
            key.

Usage:      SET FUNCTION assigns a character string to a function key,
            which when pressed, stuffs the keyboard.  The string that is
            assigned may contain control characters, such as a Ctrl-C
            (the equivalent of PgDn), to complete a READ.

            Function keys between 1 and 40 inclusive can be assigned
            using this command.  At start-up, F1 is assigned with SET
            KEY to invoke Help.  To assign it with SET FUNCTION, you
            must first cancel the SET KEY definition.

            Precedence: SET KEY definitions take precedence over SET
            FUNCTION assignment for the same keys.
