|  CBM prg studio
the developer from CBM prg studio send me a message with the following question: I downloaded a book of C16 programs and in one of them was the word 'GETKEY', however the VICE emulator doesn't recognise it. Is there such a word? (There is a word 'KEY' though, which is token $F9)
hopefully someone will help him out!

Didn't read my answer of Facebook, which links to the GETKEY explication here? :o
Also, you can redefine F-keys with the KEY instruction. Example:
KEY1,"PATRICK"
assigns that print to the F1 key. Moreover, you can use it plain as :
KEY
in order to display the current F-keys assignments.

GETKEY is totally valid. It will suspend program execution until you press any key (except shift, ctrl or C=). It is basically more or less equivalent to the following piece of code:
10 GETA$:IFA$=""THEN10
There is no single token for it, as it is composed of $A1 and $F9, so in the sense he needs it for CBM studio, it is not a separate command. It does work in VICE for me.

Thanks guys, I see what's happening now. GETKEY is actually GET KEY. I tried both out in VICE and it uses the same tokens.
Cheers.
