Coco3 can do a key interrupt... but once it fires make sure you shut off
the interrupt (via FF92 or FF93 ) for a jiffy or two, otherwise the key
interrupt will fire non-stop until the user releases the key(s). :(
CoCo2 doesn't have a key interrupt. So you'll have to poll every once in a
while. I usually use the VSYNC interrupt for this. Basic has some pretty
handy routines for scanning the keyboard, btw. (Manipulation of the
"rollover" RAM is allows for some cool stuff btw...)
