I checked into _getky. _getky seems a bit more powerful, as it also gets the
row/column code of the key pressed on the keypad.
I think I'll print out the include file and take a closer look. I should
also look more into the APD counter routine, but all of this in due time.
I'm kind of tangled up with ROM and RAM pages and interrupts right now :)
Well I'm off to bed. 12 hours is long enough to spend on this for one day :)
Thanks to all for the help.
