Re: A86: detecting running program




Before I use this, is there any way whatsoever that there could be
something on the op stack when the user is at the homescreen, not doing
anything?  Because I need to ascertain with certainty that there is no
program running before I run the sqrtKEY, but it must be able to run at
the homescreen.
