<HR>

The keyboard layout in Frodo closely resembles that of a real C64. The
individual rows of the keyboard are mapped as follows (american keyboard):

<PRE>
&lt;- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 + -
    Q W E R T Y U I O P @ *
    A S D F G H J K L : ;
     Z X C V B N M , . /
</PRE><P>

In addition, the following keys are used:

<PRE>
 Esc        - RUN/STOP
 Backspace  - INS/DEL
 Return     - RETURN
 Enter      - RETURN
 Shift keys - SHIFT
 Caps lock  - SHIFT LOCK
 F1-F8      - F1-F8
</PRE><P>

Special keys under Unix:

<PRE>
 \          - ^
 Insert     - Shift-INS/DEL
 Delete     - INS/DEL
 Home       - CLR/HOME
 End        - &pound;

 F9         - Start <A HREF="sam.html">SAM</A>
 F10        - Quit Frodo
 F11        - RESTORE
 F12        - C64 Reset
</PRE><P>

Special keys under BeOS:

<PRE>
 \          - ^
 Insert     - Shift-INS/DEL
 Delete     - INS/DEL
 Home       - CLR/HOME
 End        - &pound;
 Page Up    - &pound;
 Page Down  - =
 Menu Keys  - C=
 Ctrl Left  - CTRL
 Ctrl Right - C=
 F11        - RESTORE
 F12        - C64 Reset
</PRE><P>

Special keys under AmigaOS:

<PRE>
 \          - &pound;
 Delete     - CLR/HOME
 ( (keypad) - ^
 ) (keypad) - =
 Alt Keys   - C=
 Ctrl       - CTRL
 F9         - RESTORE
 F10        - C64 Reset
</PRE><P>

Special keys under RISC OS:

<PRE>
 F5         - Toggle sound emulation mode
 F6         - Enter SAM
 F7         - RESTORE
 F8         - Reset
 Copy       - Toggle pause
 PageUp     - Increase SkipFrames
 PageDown   - Decrease SkipFrames
 num/       - Toggle 1541 emulation mode
 num*       - Toggle speed limiter
 num+/-     - +/-
 Alt        - CBM
 ScrollLock - On: force single tasking, else multitasking
</PRE><P>

Apart from that the function keys are mapped differently under RISC OS. (F1,F2,F3,F4) maps
to the C64's (F1,F3,F5,F7), you get (F2,F4,F6,F8) by pressing shift like on a real C64.<P>

So the famous key combination RUN/STOP-RESTORE must be typed as Esc-F11 (Esc-F9 under AmigaOS).
But you don't have to thrash the F11 key the same way as the RESTORE key on
the original C64. <TT>:-)</TT><P>

The cursor (arrow) keys work as expected. I.e. "cursor up" corresponds to
"Shift-cursor down" on the C64. The same applies to the function keys F2,
F4, F6 and F8.

The numerical keypad emulates a joystick in port 1 or 2, depending on the
state of the Num Lock (Num Lock off: port 2, Num Lock on: port 1):<P>

Keyboard joysticks are handled differently under RISC OS:

<UL>
<LI>NumLock on: only joystick 1 active, mapped to port 2. NumLock off: both joysticks active, 1 mapped to port 1, 2 mapped to port 2.
<LI>Joystick keys can be defined freely. Defaults are: joystick 1: (1 2 3 . enter) on the numerical keypad, joystick 2: (z x f c g).
</UL><P>

The '+' and '-' keys on the numerical keypad increase and decrease the
"Draw every n-th frame" setting on the fly. The '*' on the numerical keypad
toggles the "Limit Speed to 100%" option.
