So in balloon, did you write your own routine to display numbers on
the left side?  did you use BCD?  are the word "fuel","time" etc.
sprites?  i think for solomon's key i won't have to worry about any of
this.  since all this game information is going to be on the bottom 8
rows of the screen, i will just change the copying of the virtual
screen where it does not copy the last 8*16 bytes.  then i can write
whatever i want to this area and it will remain unaffected by the
copy.
