As always - Read The Flippin' Manual :-)

Keystrokes are captured by the PIK chip (7 deep buffer)
The Print Prgm and Print Regs processes can be stopped by a keypress.
Thus while printing these and you press 1 2 3, the "1" will stop the print, and then display "23".

Print Stack is not stopped by a keypress, so "123" would be displayed.

Makes sense as you might not want to finish the long prints.
