Sb: BASIC's INKEY

To: all

Can anyone advise me on the use of INKEY in BASIC (on the 68000 that is)? The
format as my manuals reads is INKEY(#) ant that is just about the same as
the FILSIZ command.  WHen I try to run INKEY from path 0 (the keyboard) I
invariably come up with an error 208.  I can run it from another path such as a
disk file but what would be the point?  All I want to do is the same as the
INKEY under BASIC09 or even old DECBasic.  Was trying to write a quick and
nasty DISPLAY command for my new TC70 but it looks as if I will really have to
polish up my C if I cannot get BASIC's INKEY to work from the keyboard. 
Looking back I find I lie a bit - the battle with INKEY is more in the area of
a key converter so I can read the output from the arrow keys. Then I want to do
the dislay.
