I have a couple questions...

First, the locations in ProDOS that contain the minute and the hour will
not change while a program is running, why?  I wanted to have a clock
routine in my program, but these locations (49042=minute, 49043=hour) do not
update when the program is running.  Also, does anyone know if there is
a second location?  I'm sure ProDOS reads the clock continuously, but how
can I access it?

Second, does anyone know if there is direct memory location that will send
a byte directly to slot 2 (modem)?  And if there is one that will read the
buffer (like the keyboard scan)?
