So basically it's a simple keyboard interrupt handler, something every
beginning programmer learns to code, similar to a key logging virus, that
tries to compensate for stupidity by becoming a security risk the only
places it might be useful (where you can't see what you're typing, like
password entry).

Another brilliant choice, from ACF's number one village idiot!

I was writing them in Z80 assembler back in 84', it wasn't even innovative
back then.
