Ah that was some time ago. Funny you mension that program though. I've
been talking about it with somebody earlier today. Anyway, it was just an
interrupt program which ran modules. And each module could respond to key
presses before the TIOS itself interpreted the keys. You could even use
rom calls in modules... But I don't really support that program anymore.
It was merely some fun stuff I did during boring days.

Anyway, for learning how to use interrupts, you better write your own code
instead of using someone elses tools. APDram is the best place to store
your routine. You can put your routine at $8282 and your jump table at
$8400-$8500 for instance.

sea-ah,
