The INKEY(0) function determines the corresponding CHR() value for a
key press. When the INKEY(0) function returns a negative value, a
function key was pressed. Use care when passing the value from
INKEY(0) to the CHR() function.
The character trapped by INKEY(0) is not echoed to the console when a
key is pressed.
Format
<expN>=INKEY(0)
Example
. ? INKEY(0) && Get the next key press and print ASCII value
