SUMMARY

Many of the built-in 48 programs that are assigned to keys, for
example the interactive stack, can be run while the command line
is active.  This option is unavailable to the user.  If a program
is assigned to a user key, it is evaluated only if the command
line is not active.  Otherwise, the 48 beeps.  The programs TAKA
and TAKR extend this feature to user created programs.

First, a program must be assigned to a particular key using the
commands ASN or STOKEYS.  This program must be in RAM, not ROM.
Next, the "TakeOver" command must be added to the key assignment
using the program TAKA.  This special command tell the 48 to
temporarily hand control over to that program.  Finally, set the
48 to user mode.  The assigned key will now be evaluated even
when the command line is active.  To remove the "TakeOver"
command from a key assignment use the program TAKR.
