 Keys that you can bind to

 The following is a summary of the keys that can be bound to in the DOS and
 OS/2 versions of AE.

 The DOS version of AE uses Int-16h, functions 0 and 1 to read the keyboard,
 or possibly functions 10h and 11h if support for 102 key keyboard is found.
 Note that if 102 key keyboard support does not exist, then some of the keys
 listed below will not be bindable.

 The OS/2 version of AE uses KbdCharIn() to read its characters.

 Most of the keys accessible via these mechanisms are available for binding.

 ~X means Shift-X, ^X means Ctrl-X and .X means Alt-X.

 Ctrl-keys :-

         ^A ^B ^C ^D ^F ^G ^H ^I ^J ^L ^L ^M ^N ^O
      ^P ^Q ^R ^S ^T ^U ^V ^X ^Y ^Z    ^\ ^] ^^ ^_

      NOTE: ^@ is not bindable, its ASCII NUL.
      NOTE: ^[ is not bindable, its the Esc key.

 Function-keys :-

       F1  F2  F3  F4  F5  F6  F7  F8  F9  F10  F11  F12
      ~F1 ~F2 ~F3 ~F4 ~F5 ~F6 ~F7 ~F8 ~F9 ~F10 ~F11 ~F12
      ^F1 ^F2 ^F3 ^F4 ^F5 ^F6 ^F7 ^F8 ^F9 ^F10 ^F11 ^F12
      .F1 .F2 .F3 .F4 .F5 .F6 .F7 .F8 .F9 .F10 .F11 .F12

 Cursor pad keys :-

      Home    Up    PgUp              ^Home    ^Up    ^PgUp
      Left          Right             ^Left           ^Right
      End    Down   PgDn              ^End    ^Down   ^PgDn

      Ins Del ~Tab ^Tab .Tab

 Alt-keys :-

      .A .B .C .D .E .F .G .H .I .J .K .L .M
      .N .O .P .Q .R .S .T .U .V .W .X .Y .Z

      .0 .1 .2 .3 .4 .5 .6 .7 .8 .9 .- .=

 Ctrl-Break is not bindable, although it can be used to abort searching
 functions.

 NOTE: On UNIX and other environments the key names available for binding
       to will vary immensily, with the notable exception that the
       Ctrl-keys are almost always accessible. This is why the default
       AE configuration makes extensive use of Ctrl-keys.
