I'll try again with this...

Normally to display text you would do something like this:

 ld hl,string
 call _vputs

string:
 .db "Hello",0



But I have the string INSIDE a bigger area like this:

sprite_string:
 .db %11111111
 .db %10000001
 .db %10000001
 .db %10000001
 .db %10000001
 .db %10000001
 .db %10000001
 .db %11111111
 .db "Hello",0


So, how could I load that 'Hello' string into a location defined as:

name = $8000

and later use it in like this:

 ld hl,name
 call _vputs

--> (Which would display 'Hello' on screen)

uh...I hope someone understands and can help...


Thanx,
Dave
