This byte determines the current state of the keyboard modifier keys
  b0 = BBC/Elk/Master: res   Compact: b0-b2 = EXTEND status             RISC OS: Alt pressed
  b1 = BBC/Elk/Master: res              1=EXTEND, 2=Shift-EXTEND        RISC OS: Scroll Lock set
  b2 = BBC/Elk/Master: res              3=Ctrl-EXTEND, 4=Sh-Ct-EXTEND   RISC OS: Num Lock set
  b3 = Shift pressed
  b4 = Caps lock off
  b5 = Shift lock off
      (ie, b5-4=01: Shift Lock on, 10: Caps Lock on, 11: No lock)
  b6 = BBC/Master/RISC OS: Control pressed             Electron: FN pressed
  b7 = Shift enable (Shift Caps or Shift Inverse)
 
With Caps Lock on and Shift Enable off, Shift has no effect on letter keys.
