Set_Scroll
Purpose Forces the Scroll Lock key on or off.
Decln. Set_Scroll(On:Boolean);
Remarks On is a boolean to indicate if the Scroll lock should be set to
on, i.e. true to set it on and false to set it off.
This procedure will only function on IBM machines and 100%
compatibles. Clone machines that have cheap keyboards or non-
standard BIOS will not properly illuminate the Scroll Lock key -
some clones use a mechanical trigger to change the Num Lock light
and do not detect a software change.
Example
BEGIN
IF NOT SCROLLON THEN
BEGIN
FWRITE('TURNING ON THE SCROLL LOCK KEY');
SET_SCROLL(TRUE);
END;
END;
