Typing keywords in BASIC

Hi

I seem to remember that back in '82 when I had my first ZX81, someone published a short machine code program that allowed you to type out keywords rather than using Sinclair's one-key entry. I've been searching for something like this recently, but can't find any hint of such a program, so I'm wondering if I imagined it. Does anyone know of such a program, or has anyone re-done a ROM in the same way as the GW ROM for the Spectrum?

Thanks

Thanks - I'll give that a try next week. I would prefer to have something in ROM if anyone knows an alternative, but if not that seems a good alternative.
