I assume this is for trapping the CTL-C in Applesoft.

It's been awhile, but I think ONERR GOTO xx will trap a control-c.
I believe the error # is 255, so your error handling routine can
check if the user pressed CTL-C or not, if so, jump him
back to nuetral part of the program, such as a main menu...Also,
I no longer remember how, but you can patch control-reset to also
be trapped by ONERR, I had a lot of fun with this many years back...
