Also, does anyone know of a good method to use the getKy command and have

and that is a time when I can really notice it.

In my experience with my 86, it's not the getKy command that's slow, but rather the If [Then] commands that you put after it. The If commands are ridiculously slow to execute, so if you minimize those, it will speed it up tremendously.

In my hangman game, I came up with a getKy routine that singled out the desired letter via mathematical manipulation, not If statements. That sped things up significantly.
