101/102-KEY KEYBOARD - KEY CODE IDENTIFICATION

As shown in Appendix D, a specific Key Code number is assigned for each of the keys on the standard 101/102 key keyboard. These key code numbers are decimal numbers not ASCII values. Use of key code numbers provides a more positive way for identifying a specific key than using its name. Different keyboard types may have different names assigned to the same key, but the key code is the same for that position. For example, on the 101/102-key keyboard shown in Appendix D, key code 31 identifies the "A" key. Assignment of different key codes to keys that produce the same scan codes or have similar functions is done so that like keys can be used for other functions. For example, the left and right ALTERNATE keys are assigned key codes 60 and 62, respectively.
