===== EXTERNAL INTEGRATION SYSTEM CALLS (ON AMSTRAD CPC) =====

==== PURPOSE ====
 This small example explains how to invoke Amstrad CPC system functionalities. Please note that this is only an example, and that you need to have a good understanding of how the BIOS and BASIC works in order to use this functionality. In order for this example to work, it needs access to the import file invoked in the first line (IMPORT DECLARES). The file is located in the "/imports" folder, and is downloaded automatically by the IDE from version 1.14.1 onwards.  

==== SOURCE CODE ====
   
   IMPORT DECLARES
   
   CLS
   
   PRINT "---------------------------------------"
   PRINT "--- ugBASIC : SYS EXAMPLE CPC"
   PRINT "---------------------------------------"
   
   PRINT "This example will work only";
   PRINT "                     under Amstrad CPC"
   
   PROCEDURE example ON CPC
   
   	PRINT "Press any key..."
   
   	DO
   		c = km_wait_key[]
   		PRINT "(key pressed!)"
   	LOOP
   
   END PROC
   
   example[] ON CPC
