The keyboard graphic responds to mouse clicks, touch events, and key presses.
Hold your shift key while clicking the PET keyboard to get the graphics
characters.
(The emulator simulates pressing the PET's left shift-key at the
same time as the clicked key.)
Changing the size of memory or changing the ROM version forces a reset of the PET.
The emulator has an IEEE-488 device at address 8. It can be used load and save (.prg) files.
Some programs don't run on ROM1 and some require more memory than the default 8K.

"Yes, you too can be a famous wallpaper designer," proclaims the flyer. PAPER asks the user to supply four characters, and then generates a repeated "wallpaper" pattern on the screen, adding some additional room details in PETSCII: a door, light switch, table, electrical outlet, and a hideous portrait. (That thing in the bottom right corner is probably meant to be a dog with an animated wagging tail.) This program could benefit from some variety in its patterns. There is only one way that the PET will place the chosen characters in sequence, meaning once you've seen one pattern, you've kind of seen them all.
