       Name: BAY                                                     [Show more]
       Type: Subroutine
   Category: Status
    Summary: Go to the docking bay (i.e. show the Encyclopedia screen)

    Context: See this subroutine in context in the source code
 References: This subroutine is called as follows:
             * DOENTRY calls BAY
             * info_menu calls BAY
             * menu calls BAY
             * ships_ag calls BAY
             * trading calls BAY




 We end up here after the start-up process (load commander etc.), as well as
 after a successful save, an escape pod launch, a successful docking, the end
 of a cargo sell, and various errors (such as not having enough cash, entering
 too many items when buying, trying to fit an item to your ship when you
 already have it, running out of cargo space, and so on).

\LDA #f8                \ Jump into the main loop at FRCE, setting the key
\JMP FRCE               \ that's "pressed" to red key f8 (so we show the Status
\                       \ Mode screen)

                        \ --- And replaced by: -------------------------------->

 LDA #f3                \ Jump into the main loop at FRCE, setting the key
 JMP FRCE               \ that's "pressed" to red key f3 (so we show the
                        \ Encyclopedia screen)

                        \ --- End of replacement ------------------------------>
