Whoa!  One poke?  Cool!  I always thought that to disable control-reset you
had to install an assembly-language routine, and do some tricky stuff if you
wanted to just have it continue a BASIC program if that was what was
running.  If you still know that poke call to disable it, that would be
really useful to me!
