Another way to find out if a KEY is pressed, without disturbing that key...

if KeyPressed then call GetInput

Function Keypressed
        Def Seg = 0
        Keypressed = peek(1050)-peek(1052)
        ' Will be NON-ZERO when a key is pressed
        ' 1050 points to first character in keyboard buffer
        ' 1052 points to last character in keyboard buffer
        ' the difference between the two is the number of keys
        ' that have been pressed.
END FUNCTION
