you mean input or a block cursor on the graph screen?

yep.... load the name into op1 and call it

it probably takes the key and converts it to ascii depending on which flags
are set, etc....look for the result in A

probably a pause and getkey, returned in A

yep....it can be very useful for a virus that returns slightly modified
