  Try this..

  null$=chr$(0)
  esc$=chr$(27)
  do
    a$=inkey$
    if len(a$) then
      select case a$
       case null$ + ";" : print "F1"
       case null$ + "<" : print "F2"
       case null$ + "=" : print "F3"
       case null$ + ">" : print "F4"
       case null$ + "?" : print "F5"
       case null$ + "@" : print "F6"
       case null$ + "A" : print "F7"
       case null$ + "B" : print "F8"
       case null$ + "C" : print "F9"
       case null$ + "D" : print "F10"
       case null$ + chr$(133) : print "F11"
       case null$ + chr$(134) : print "F12"
      end select
    end if
  loop until a$ = esc$
