I ran into something that caused a bit of trouble. I was doing things up 'right', with 'help' screens, etc. To trigger these things, I was trapping the 'key codes'. The problem??? If I entered BASIC via Wang's windows type interface, the 'key codes' for the 'help' key were one thing, If I just went to a "C:/" prompt, and entered BASIC, the key codes were entirely different. (NOT sub/super sets of each other, DIFFERENT). This was a real 'head scratcher' till I figured out what was happening. If you never try and do anything in BASIC on the machine, you will never run into the problem. But if you 'whip off a quickie' in BASIC, you may bump your head.
