I think that the reason you need to be spliy stack mode is that the input
handler requires a buffer to be present in order to accept input, and the
input handler is what is used at accept key presses in the menus. Another
solution to the problem would be to have the memory organized as it normaly
is and then just create a new buffer for the input.

I am getting my ti85 rom dump stuff send, so I will hopefully have more info
soon.

Being able to use BASIC stuff, and other parts of the TIOS would be cool,
and it should not be impossible, but it will take some time. If you are
starting to go into this, you might also want to have a look at the error
handler, since alot of TIOS functions uses that. I have used it in a
program on the TI82, and it fairly simple to use, just call one function and
your error handler is installed.
