Just a note on what THROOP says about detecting open-apple keys.

Yes, you can use $c061 and $C062 to detect OA and Option (formerly closed-
apple) on pre-GS machines... BUT -- if you're on a IIgs, it would be
better to use $C025 for keyboard stuff, and use $C061 & $C062 for joystick
stuff.  I know this created a problem once, because some old comm program
I used (I forget the name) used an extra program to read the joystick...
It did this, because it used button 0 to stop the display, but it ALSO
used open-apple sequences... so whenever you'd press OA-something, the
display would pause until you pressed OA again (not all the time though).
I think it was some cheapo PD program.
