SCRATCH KEY 

The SCRATCH KEY statement resets the current typing aid contents of the
attribute, label, and key definition fields of an individual or group of
user-definable keys.  The values of each field for the specified keys are
assigned the default values, blank labels, local, and BEL. HP Business
BASIC/XL also stores the default values of the keys as those retrieved by
a GET KEY statement without a filename parameter.

Syntax 

SCRATCH KEY [key_number_list]

Parameters 

key_number_list  A list of integers selected from the set of [1..8] or
                 numeric expressions that evaluate to an integer in the
                 range of [1..8] separated by commas or semicolons.  If
                 the integer is not in the specified range, an error
                 occurs.  No more than eight values can be specified for
                 each statement.  If no values are specified, all of the
                 keys are scratched.
