INKEY$
Function
SYNTAX: a$ = INKEY$(n)
PURPOSE: To return a single character from a serial input buffer.
REMARK S: The returned value is a null or one– character– length string.
n = valid serial port number, 1 or 2.
As long as there are characters in the input serial buffer, you may bring them out one at a time.
Each time INKEY$ is executed, a character is removed from the buffer. The buffer is 255
characters.
RPC-2350 NOTE: The CAM BASIC statement BIT 128,4, 0 may need to be executed before you
will receive any characters. This command enables the CTS line to the sender.
