Hi all--
 
  I need to check the keyboard buffer and store keypresses in a buffer
to be stored in a file.  I want to do this as an ISR.  I was planning
on writing it in C and then porting it to Assembler.  The question
is how to check the keys in the keyboard buffer without removing them.
I want whatever program that is running to be able to execute those
keystrokes.
 
  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
