Footnotes

        [1]   The 83-key and 84-key keyboards are the original PC keyboard
              and the original-layout AT keyboard, respectively.

        [2]   The 101/102-key keyboard is the current IBM standard
              ("Enhanced") keyboard.

        [3]   "Standard Function" refers to BIOS that do not suppport
              extended keyboards

        [4]   "Extended Function" refers to BIOS that supports the
              extended keyboard - when isextended() returns .T.

        [**]  Keys and key combinations marked ** are used by the ROM BIOS
              but do not put values into the keyboard buffer.

        [--]  Keys and key combinations marked -- are ignored by the ROM
