there's a routine off of _exec_pg3.  it gets something (number, string,
matrix, whatever) into op1, equivalent to input.
  ld a,$0d
  ld (_ASAP_IND),a
  call _exec_pg3

this will also copy the text buffer to the screen and print _ioPrompt
first.  you should probly either load a 0 or a 0-terminated string to
here.  oh, and it turns on the run indicator.
