A friend of mine has a CP/M system made by Morrow.  An MBASIC program we
would like to use makes use of the WAIT command, apparently checking the
status of the keyboard and reading it if there is something to read.
This isn't working: it doesn't wait for the user to type things, but goes
ahead as if he did.  The documentation that came with the program says
that the data port and status port numbers probably have to be changed.
But we looked through all the documentation that came with the machine,
and can't find anything about port numbers.  Is there a way to find out
this information from the system or perhaps by looking inside the CPU
box?

Thanks in advance,
