BTW, Sam, you might want to reconsider the keys for PJ83. I know that you
probably wanted to keep it like the TI-85/6 versions, but the keys are
really confusing on the 83, especially the teacher key. Since PJ exits to
the shell when Y= is pressed, and SOS starts a program when Y= is pressed,
the result is a immediate return to the game when the teacher key is
pressed, if you hold it down too long. It usually takes me 2 or 3 tries to
use the teacher key feature.

Instead, you could make the MODE or the DEL key be the teacher key (maybe
the DEL key being the teacher key and the MODE key being a pause feature),
and make CLEAR be the exit key. This is a common layout for most TI-83
games, so most people are used to it already. When I first played PJ83, I
accidentally pressed MODE a bunch of times, expecting to pause, but
accidentally exiting.

Just my thoughts,

How about this:

ld hl,levelName
ld bc,9  ; zero isn't really needed....
ld de,op1
ldir
ld hl,260
jp $448a

levelName:
$06,"PLANLVL1",0
