| &BD5E | TEXT INPUT |
| Action | Allows upto 255 characters to be input from the keyboard into a buffer (hmmm ... not really a maths routine ...) |
| Entry | HL points to the start of the buffer - a NUL character must be placed after any characters already present, or at the start of the buffer if there is no text |
| Exit | A has the last key pressed, HL points to the start of the buffer, the flags are corrupt, and all others are preserved |
| Notes | This routine prints any existing contents of the buffer (upto the NUL character) and then echoes any keys used; it allows full line editing with the cursor keys and DEL, etc; it is exited only by use of ENTER or ESC |
| &BD7F | REAL RND |
| Action | Creates a new RND real value at a location pointed to by HL |
| Entry | HL points to the destination for the result |
| Exit | HL points to the RND value, AF, BC, DE and IX registers are corrupt; and all others are preserved |
| &BD8B | REAL RND(0) |
| Action | Returns the last RND value created, and puts it in a location pointed to by HL |
| Entry | HL points to the place where the value is to be returned to |
| Exit | HL points to the value created, AF, DE and IX are corrupt, and all other registers are preserved |
| Notes: | See the BASIC handbook for more details on RND(0) |
