All of this talk about using the serial port from Applesoft got
me curious (again). I've never had any luck with PR#2 or IN#2 from
within an Applesoft program so I decided to try using peeks and pokes
to go about it in a more direct way. The snag is in reading the status
register. I have to check the status of bits 3 and 4 regularly and cannot
figure out a way to do in in Applesoft. Any hints or clues? I normally
use Assembler, ML or C but decided to try it for old times sake.
