l've noticed that you can shorten some commands on the TI-85/86 that return
results (such as getKy and long equations and stuff) by doing
(variable)=(whatever) like A=5.  the same can be done with the getKy command.
so instead of having a large looping command, you can do this:

put   A=getKy   at the top of your program.

then getkey loops can look like this:

Repeat A%0     ;the % sign means not equal
End

and this will wait until a key is pressed.
