OPERATION:

Place the GETKEY.TTP program anywhere you want to.  You must run it from
a Tomshell (and since it's designed to work especially with Tomshell,
there isn't much point in doing it any other way!).

GETKEY will accept a single keypress, write out a small Tomshell
batch file to pass the value of the key to the Tomshell environmental
variable "kp", and then exit.  Possible values are any of the usual
letters, numbers, and punctuation, plus "RETURN", "ESC", "BS", "TAB",
and "DEL".  Due to the way the ST handles keyboard input, the HELP,
UNDO, INSERT, CLR/HOME, cursor, and function keys all generate a
value of zero, making it impossible to determine which one was
pressed using GETKEY.

You may also use GETKEY to display a menu; it accepts an optional
parameter on the command line, which should be a full pathname for the
menu.  GETKEY will display the menu file on the screen.  The menu file
may contain VT-52 codes in addition to the usual printable characters.
If no filename is passed, GETKEY will skip over that section of the
code.
