yes, except on the 86 you can have a value in A from 0-9 which is also
displayed.

Eightynine@juno.com also wrote about exitting programs and the 0 port.

using _getky (not _getkey) for EXIT keys is okay, since its not a
simultaneous thing anyway, and it doesn't affect reading from the 0
port. the only things you want to use the 0 port for is for keys that
will be held down a long time or keys that will be held down
simultaneously.

if you do use the 0 port, be sure to either put a HALT at the start of
the code (prefered because it conserves batteries) or disable the
interrupts.
