Reads one character from the file attached to the channel number given and returns it as a value between 0 and 255. This is equivalent to CODE(INKEY$(#channel)).

BEWARE, PUT_BYTE can put negative values to file, for example -1 is put as 255, GET_BYTE will return 255 instead of -1. Any negative numbers returned are always error codes.
