I discovered the problem with the 'KEY (n) ON' statement.  While the
KEY statement is a feature from IBM BASIC as far down as the cassette
models, the 'KEY (n) ON' and 'ON KEY' statements are Advanced Basic
commands.  The BASIC on the Tandy 1000 and 2000 incorporates the 
features of the IBM Advanced Basic, that's why the program would run
there.  I had to swap two of the keys, and then the program would 
run under BASICA on the PC-AT with no problem.

(How does Basic work?  Where do you put the stack?  Where's the
segment register?  OH NO! NOT A SEGMENT REGISTER!)
