I'm back from my week's absence.  Yippee!

I used the getkey routine that Bill Nagel sent me before the preliminary
info was released.  It's the same as the TI-85's call GET_KEY, and that's
why I used it.  The call was $5371, it's in the table of calls and jumps,
so I figured it would stay the same in all versions.  That's what that big
table is for, right?
