The [INTERRUPTX](INTERRUPTX) statement is an assembly routine for accessing computer information registers.
## Legacy Support
* Registers are emulated in **QB64** to allow older programs to be compiled. To enable mouse input in your programs, the recommended practice is to use [_MOUSEINPUT](_MOUSEINPUT) and related functions.
## Syntax
> [CALL](CALL) [INTERRUPTX](INTERRUPTX)(intNum, inRegs, outRegs)
## Parameter(s)
* Registers are emulated in QB64 and there is no support for intNum 33h mouse functions above 3 or intNum requests other than 33.
* inRegs are the values placed into the call and outRegs are the register return values.
## QBasic
* Available in QuickBASIC versions 4 and up and required an external library to be loaded. <!-- Command line: QB.EXE /L in QB4.5 --> **QB64** emulates the statement without an external library.
* intNum is the interrupt reference vector table address. For historic reference, see: [Ralf Brown's Interrupt List](http://www.ctyme.com/intr/cat.htm)
* The [TYPE](TYPE) definition below will work for both [INTERRUPT](INTERRUPT) and INTERRUPTX statement calls
* INTERRUPT can use all of the below TYPE elements when they are required.
