For someone unsuspecting, it would appear simple madness why "H" would
mean "cursor up". S/He wouldn't get any help for comprehension either
from the manual (and I read TFM).
Though there is a "learnable" explication: It's "H" because the two
keyboard scan code bytes from pressing "up" are "00 72" (decimal) -
the second one of which is "H", chr$(72).
So just one little hint to the standard definition of keyboards (and
perhaps an annexed table of the scancodes, usefull for re-mapping keys
for accented letters too, BTW) in a basic manual would indeed further
comprehension.
