Summary MESS-specific 06337: mz2500: The HELP key is missing
Description According to -> http://www.progettoemma.net/mess/system.php?machine=mz2500 (click on Images: Keyboard / Controller1, Size: Native)
the HELP key on the MZ-2500 is placed on a PC keyboard at F11 key !!!
Steps To Reproduce According to Jpn. wiki ( https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/MZ-2500 ) the basic disk contains 2 versions of basics: BASIC M25 (MZ-6Z002) and BASIC S25 (MZ-6Z003).
By holding down the HELP key during the floppy disk booting, it could be selected one of the basic versions.
Unfortunately it is not possible to select from the current mess mz2500 driver as the HELP key seems not emulated.
(also, this could serve as a test does the HELP key is working)
