| Description |
'*I' (star-i) is used to create a 256-character terminal input conversion table. As each character is received from an input device, it is translated into a new character based on this table, if defined. An incoming character is translated to its numeric value in an ASCII table (0-255) and this value is used as an offset into the 256-character table defined by '*I' —the character at that offset will be used for input instead of the original incoming character.
For additional information regarding the use of special mnemonics (i.e., '@@', '*C', '*I',
'*O', '*R', '*X', 'AT', 'GD', 'WX') when creating a device driver, see Dynamic Information in Mnemonics or Device Drivers in the ProvideX User's Guide.
