I can Easily do this for you... =)  I've made a Character-Mapped Direct Input 
Routine that's been sitting around for a while, and will eventually be used 
in the Text Function of one of the TCPA's current projects, ImEd, an Image 
Editor for the TI-83... I'll have it Include all the letters like you said, 
and the Period and the Space, but do you want the Theta character, or any 
other keys? Also, do you want this program Squished or Unsquished?  If its 
Unsquished, it will be twice as big, but then you can simply do 
"Send(9prgmGETCHAR)" in your basic program, but if its Squished, then that 
means you'll have to also include ZASMLOAD on your calc for that program, I 
dont know if you'd like that... Also, the program can either stop and wait 
for a key to be pressed, or it can check and keep cycling through to your 
Basic program, putting a '0' into X if no keys have been pressed... Many 
options to choose from, but I am flexible, and am willing to make this for 
you, Courtesy of the TCPA. =)  The faster I get your reply with the options 
you want, the faster I can get your prog to you, cya...
