yeah, i found the routine at $5B12 on page 3, but i couldn't figure out where
it was getting the string from.  also, i wasn't sure if there was anything on
page $D that corresponded to it...  thanks for the routine- if i can't find a
routine in ROM to do it (that i can call easily) then i'll use it...  but
this seems too important to leave out...
