Someone else suggested that and in the version I'm working on right now,
I've already added support for numbers. It was pretty easy and didn't
really increase the size by much. All I had to do was edit Magnus
Hagander's lettertable so the f1-f5 keys get the numbers 1-5 and the
Graph-Clear key get the numbers 6-0. The second key also gets a hyphen for
use in phone numbers. I had to add a few things to get around a problem
with the program thinking that the letter 7 was the keypress EXIT (they
both have a hex code $37). I might change the owner setting to be a bit
longer, but I'm not sure.
I believe I've now fixed the bug I mentioned. It was just that when
the program copied the new password from a dummy string to the password
string, it didn't clear the entire password string. So if the new
password was shorter than the previous one, it would still be expecting
more keypresses.
I've also optimized the code a bit, and deleted some worthless stuff. It
is currently about 30 bytes shorter.
