Comments

This routine expects that either interrupts are enabled or KbdScan was called manually. Either of these routines will check the keyboard and load the appropriate scan code into kbdScanCode and set the flag kbdSCR,(iy+kbdFlags).

Arrow keys and DEL will repeat if held down, while others will not; see notes on KbdScan.
