There is a system variable for the current keyboard queue. I assume
that as there is only one, that it refers to the currently executing
job? So If SuperBasic is executing, it will refer to the QDOS channel ID
for Channel #0 in SuperBasic.
Ok, given that the above is true, I assume that when

You're already off path here. The queue is not the one of the
currently executing job
Norman,
I'm not sure how far this could help you forward, but it's rather that the
channel is related to the job waiting for it than the other way round.
The channel table's header has CH_JOBWT - The job that's waiting for input on
this channel. That is how the device driver can kick a job

The address of the keyboard input buffer seems to be private to the
console channel - There's no variable in the channel table for that.
I could even imagine that all console channels share the same
keyboard queue - As there can always be only one channel
Afternoon Gents,
thanks for the information and pointers. I'll have a rummage in the
bowels of QDOS/SMSQ and see what, if anything, I come up with.
I get the impression I'll be doing this:
* create a job.
* activate the job.
* wait a bit.
* scan the QODS channel table for channels owned by
Marcel,
as a side note:
I can find sd_keyq at offset $68 of the Screen Driver Channel Definition Block
in the SMSQ/E sources.
But nowhere in the documents.
Whatever that might mean.
Regards,
Tobias

In my docs, updated recently, I see sd_end at that offset in the screen
driver channel
