THE
CX5M KEYBOARD
The
CX5M
keyboard conforms
to
ASCII
standards.
The
keyboard
will
function
in
the
normal
mode
(as
an
alph-
numeric keyboard) and
in a
special
graphics
mode
as
well
(special
graphics characters
are
accessed
by
specially
designated keys
on
the keyboard).
A
repeat function
is
built
in,
so
that
if
a
key
is
pressed
and
held
for
longer
than
one
second, the
same
character
will
be displayed repeatedly
until
the
key
is
released.
Many
of the keys
will
serve
dif-
ferent
funcitons according to the
particular
CX5M
applica-
tion
program
in
use
(MSX
Basic,
Yamaha
FM
Music
Composer
software
cartridge,
etc.).
These
multiple functions
are
explained
in
the corresponding operating
manuals
for
the
individual
software packages.
Pressing
the
dead
key, or the
shift
and code keys with
the
dead
key,
will
cause accent
marks
to
be
added
to
the
letters
a,
e,
i,
o,
and
u
when
those
letter
keys
are pressed.
This
will
not operate with other
keys.
For
a
list
of characters

and
CODE
keys. See
