RE: A86: _getkey




There isn't an equate for 2nd when using _getkey. It just sets a flag if you 
press 2nd. If you use _getky (GET_KEY) you can check for 2nd, but GET_KEY 
(_getky) doesn't wait for a keypress, and it doesn't run the APD routine 
either. Both _getkey and _getky put the corresponding code for the key 
pressed into A. When you do for example 'cp kEnter' it compares A with that 
value from the include file. The values from _getkey are different from the 
ones you get with _getky, so if you use _getkey you use kEnter and with 
_getky you use K_ENTER. There is yet another call called _getcsc. I think it 
returns the same values as _getky.
