[Coco] OS/9 Command to gain keyboard control from script

Fri Apr 3 00:06:00 EDT 2015

Hi Bob,

I found "CC3Go.ar" on SHF35 which has OS-9 Level System Patches.

It is an ".AR" file which I cannot handle currently. (From 1990)

If you cannot find it please send me a PM and I will tell you where SHF35 (80T 2S DNS=3) is online.

SHF
