Well, I made the input routine work somehow.  But when I make a little
program with only 'call _getkey' in it, and nothing else, the emulator
returns to home screen.  I would think that without a RET it ought to
try to execute a bunch of garbage and lock up, but it just goes to TI-OS
after you press a key.  Maybe my emulator just doesn't like me or
something...
