Register parameters

IN:
     BC = enquiry code

OUT, if call succeeded:

     Depends on BC and other arguments

Out, if call failed:

     A = return code:
          RC_BAD ($04), incorrect reason code or parameters
          RC_UNK ($03), unknown request

Available Reason Codes

The list below shows which data that can be polled from OS_Nq.

In the description of each reason code which follow, only successful calls are considered. In some cases it is possible that other error codes will be returned. With luck this should be clear from the context. Details of these calls are specified in subsequent pages.

Panel and Printer Editor values

All the Panel and Printer Editor codes can be used to read values via OS_Nq in the following manner:


IN:
     BC = PA_xxx
     A = number of bytes to read
     DE = buffer for bytes to be read
OUT:
     A = number of bytes actually read

SI_SFT calls OS_Nq in an undocumented way for reading Panel settings.

In: A is not set before call.
DE is set to 2.

Out: Result is picked up in E or possibly DE for two-byte returns.

Please refer to OS_Sp for Panel and Printer Editor value parameter reason codes.

Bugs

This call may fail if called from segment 2 (fixed since OZ 4.7).
