DEFINING EXTENDED KEYS
----------------------

This feature only works if CmdLine is an INTERNAL function.

Extended keys may be defined by obtaining the code returned as the second
key by SysGetKey when that key is pressed. The program SHOWCODE.CMD is
included to demonstrate how to obtain these codes. Place commands such
as:

history.key.60="go" /* Definition for F2 */

in your program. You cannot redefine keys that are already used by
CmdLine.

Extended keys definitions are only available when history is available.
