6.2 KEY INPUT AND DATA INPUT/OUTPUT
6.2.1 Command Key Input Variable (#8501)
Command key input can be read from variable #8501.
If there is no command key input, the value of variable #8501 is 0.
Once there is command key input, variable #8501 retains its value,
not accepting any subsequent command key input until it is read by a
command.
When read by a command, variable #8501 becomes ready to accept
command key input and changes its value to 0. It is not possible to
write a value to variable #8501.
The command keys are given below, together with the corresponding
values of variable #8501.
