A86: breaking and other related things




I don't really do any programming in ASM, all the programming I do is really 
all just in BASIC. however, for a little program I'm working on now, there 
are a few things that aparently aren't possible to do in BASIC (which i asked 
the TI-Basic list about), and wondered if it might be possible with a bit of 
assembly stuck in.
what I'd like to do is:
1. Do a GetKy (or something that would serve the same purpose) without the 
lines in the upper-right that move while the calculator is paused waiting for 
input (dont know if there's any other way to do getky, i just put it in a 
While loop which goes through until a key is pressed and stored to the getky 
variable. no one on the basic list mentioned another way to do a getky that 
might avoid the pause lines things), so any way to either do an equivilent of 
getky without the pause indicator, or a way to get rid of it
2. A way to over-ride the "On" break, so that pressing ON doesn't break the 
program

not sure if there's any way to do any of those, but if anyone has an idea of 
a way to possibly incorporate a bit of assembly code (keeping in mind I know 
little to nothing about assembly) into a basic program, or just another way 
to go about what I'm trying to do, any help would be much appreciated. thanks.
