Re: TI-H: New cases
As with the TSR thing, that's kind of what i meant :>. I know ASM can do
anything BASIC can...and i guess we could do a TSR to ALWAYS take input from
the touch screen. This would make simulating keypresses (at least of the F#
keys on the 85) trivial. When the TSR sees that that area has been pressed,
JMP to the pointer stored in memory for that item. I'm assuming this is
exactly what happens when the actual key is pressed, verdad?
