Here's some stuff for you...
ORG 0
DUMP 1,0
start: DI
LD A,33 ; you've hardcoded your screen, so assume you're
putting your code at 32768
OUT (LMPR),A
JP jumpdown
jumpdown:
LD BC,&FEFE
loop: IN A,(C)
BIT 0,A
JP Z, green; you had the sign the other way around; keys
are Z (0) when pressed, NZ (1) when released
LD A,2
OUT (&FE),A
JP loop
green: LD A,4
OUT (&FE),A
JP loop
... this should do it. While you're testing, you may want to do this
instead:
ORG 0
DUMP 1,0
start: DI
IN A,(VMPR)
LD (vmpr.sto+&8001),A
IN A,(LMPR)
LD (lmpr.sto+&8001),A
LD (sp.sto + &8001),SP
IN A,(HMPR)
AND 31
OR 32
OUT (LMPR),A
JP down
down:
LD A,SCREENPAGE
OUT (HMPR),A
OR 96 // mode 4
OUT (VMPR),A
LD SP,alt.stack
EI // if you have an interrupt routine
JP main
ret.to.basic:
DI
LD A,1
OUT (HMPR),A
JP up+&8000

lmpr.sto: LD A,&00
OUT (LMPR),A
sp.sto LD SP,&0000
vmpr.sto: LD A,&00
OUT (VMPR),A
EI
RET
main:
LD BC,&FEFE

RRA
JP NC, ret.to.basic

JP NC,green
LD A,2
OUT (&FE),A
