OS_Byte 153

(SWI &06)

Use

The purpose of this call is to insert a character into either the keyboard or serial buffer.

Notes

If the current escape character (set with OS_Byte 220) is inserted, and escape generation is not disabled (see OS_Byte 229 and OS_Byte 200) then an escape condition occurs either as

• an escape event is generated (if enabled with OS_Byte 14) or
• the escape handler is called.

The effects set by OS_Byte 230 occur when the escape condition is acknowledged with OS_Byte 126.

When inserting into the keyboard buffer, the same rules must be followed as for OS_Byte 138 when dealing with characters outside the range 1-127.
