I can also confirm that (on my M10 US keyboard with original system ROM),
CNTL-0 (zero) does in fact send the ASCII 27 ( 0x1B) code on my machine and
in Virtual-T.
FYI :Using the M10-M102 V3 conversion ROM changes that to the CNTL-[ key.
Here is the BASIC program I coded up to view the ascii code sent by key
presses:------5 PRINT "Press any key, CTRL-C to quit"10 A$=INKEY$20 IF A$=""
GOTO 10 ELSE PRINT A$;" ";ASC(A$)30 GOTO 10-------

Hi all,
Does anyone know how to use the ESC key on the M10? It isn't clear in the
user guide what keystrokes you need to activate the ESC which is on the "0"
key.
Thanks
Steve

Hi:
I think it might be "SHIFT-PAUSE" from fig 4-2 in the manual. My M10 is in
storage so can't check at the moment.
BTW: That's for the North American keyboard and they had 4 other languages
I recall. If you are running a ROM for a Tandy M100 it might remap a key or
keys though. They moved some keys around so take care.
Regards

Hi Again:
I went and dug up my M10 so I got it in front of me. Sorry for the mix-up.
You know the pdf of the manual online says nothing about the "ESC" key..
They only show the location of it on the "0" key. (So the manual forgot to
mention the "ESC" key?) That sucks!
OK, so you already may have noticed that the front side of the "0" key has
"ESC" printed on it. And I guess that you are supposed to hold down the
"GRPH" key, just to the left of the space bar when you type the "0" to get
the "ESC" key which is non printing. The "GRPH" key activates these special
special characters. This is one of the ASCii characters (number 27) by the
table in the m100 manual. The special characters are accessed when either
"GRPH" OR "SHIFT" "GRPH" are pressed.
I saw an ancient post where they did this sort of thing on the M10 for
localization to the different countries it was sold into without more
physical keys.
Again Sorry for any mix-up
Dave

Hi David,
I found a reference in the Italian manual that stated it was CNTL 0 to
generate ESC.
Can you or anyone try that out?
VirtualT might actually be able to confirm that as well.
Thanks
Steve

Stephen:
Per section D1 of manual "M10 - Computer portatile - Guida operativa" (The
Italian version of the operation manual) if one presses the key combination
for ESC which is <CTRL> +0 while in a text file twice the M10 will indeed
save the file and exit to the main menu. So the ESC key combination appears
to work.
