Doh! I don't know why I didn't realise this, since I've been staring at the 
Coco keyboard matrix for weeks now. In my defence, I'm intimately more 
familiar with the TRS-8 Model I matrix, in which rows are read rather than 
columns (and you can get all the arrows keys and spacebar in a single read!)

All sorted now, thanks!
