yes, somechar contains 'X', as for the best way to print out a single
character, you can use zero strings as follows:
SomeChar=TEXT_MEM
StringTerm=TEXT_MEM+1
ld a,0 ;end of string (use "xor a" to make smaller)
ld (StringTerm),a
ld a,'X'
ld (SomeChar),a
ld hl,SomeChar
call D_ZT_STR ;ROM_CALL in ZShell? i can't remember
i think you will have to write your own routines to write in other
formats.
