Well, if we are going to toss around words like "reasonable" we should
not mean them to be equivalent to "something I'd want to use". There
are plenty of systems around where INKEY$ is not possible.  Either
because the OS does not provide any way to implement the function or
because the function can not be implemented on the hardware.
