Avoid Spectrum Caps Lock Side-Effects

Here's a handy alternative to the usual way of enabling the caps lock on the Spectrum i.e. poking location 23658 with 8, and then with 0 to disengage it. This method causes other unwanted effects as 23658 holds other flags too.

Try using the routine at 4317 with RANDOMISE USR 4317 to toggle it on/off. Remember, however, this call produces strange effects command mode though it works fine in a Basic program.
