Ok, now that I can access the mouse from applesoft, I have started to write my program. Along the way, I have ran into another problem. I am trying to use the GET command to read the ESC key but it seems that no matter where I put the code for it, the apple II just ignores it.
Thanks,
Raymond

I frequently use "WAIT 49152,128:GET A$".

That would be the second revision of BASIC on the Commodore PET, the one
that says ### COMMODORE BASIC ###.

Personally, I prefer handling the ASCII value instead of alphabet characters.
KB = 49152: KC = 49168: WAIT KB,128: KY= PEEK(KB)-128: KY= KY-32*(KY>96): POKE KC,0
This eliminates the lowercase check for key presses.
How about these two?
WAIT 49249,128
WAIT 49250,128
