Disable Auto-int 1.
But then you can't use TIOS input routines, and have to read the keyboard
directly.

I did a little bit dirty hack to be able to use tios routines in one of my
programs.
I hooked int 1 with a routine that saved the bytes on the screen just where the
indicator appears, then run TIOS int 1 handler, and then copied the bytes back.
needs a bit of fiddleing with the stack to get it to return to my routine
instead of the calling one, when TIOS int 1 routine rte:s..
It's kind of speed stealing too. But in my program I didn't need speed.
It's possible you can put it on some other interrupt and get it to work too, but
I havn't tried that.
The indicator flickers up a bit in VTI, but is totally invisible on a real calc.
