NOTE
The case of FS15i–A:
The pl_fkey_sts() function is not supported.

it is possible to protect to switch screen by function key. By
using these functions, the screen can be switched after
terminating process when a function key is pressed.
The case of FS16i /18i /21i :
By using the pl_fkey_ign(), the pl_fkey_avil() and the
pl_fkey_sts() function, it is possible to protect to switch
screen by function key.
The case of FS15B:
The pl_fkey_ign(), the pl_fkey_avil() and the pl_fkey_sts()
functions are not supported.
(2) MDI keys
When the PMCMDI screen is displayed, MDI keys can be read using
the system call, pl_mdikey. The function keys among the MDI keys,
however, cannot be read. This is because these functions keys are
normally used as the command keys to specify screen switching.
These function keys, however, can also be read if screen switching is
disabled by issuing the system call, pl_fkey_ign.
When the screen is switched to the PMCMDI screen, the MDI key
input line and the key-in line are set by the PMC control software as
follows:
