[Coco] Color BASIC 1.3 How to get joystick button input

[Arthur Flexser]

The BUTTON function exists only on the CoCo 3, not on the earlier CoCo's.

The method suggested in the Extended Basic manual is:  Look at
PEEK(&HFF00) and if the value is 255 or 127, no button. If the value
is 254 or 126 then it's the right button. If the value is 253 or 125
then it's the left button.
