 Ideal situation
 ...code...
 call _vputs
 
 string:
             db. "this should not be that hard to do but i can't do it!"
 okay so what i would want to do is sence this string is longer that how many
i can display is there a way to loop the text?

I had a question like this a while back.  Here is what I got:

#include "ti86asm.inc"
#include "asm86.h"

.org _asm_exec_ram

	call _clrLCD
	ld hl,stringtable
	ld b,2
	call drawtext
	ret

drawtext:
	push hl
	call LD_HL_MHL
	ld (_penCol),hl
	pop hl
	inc hl
	inc hl
	push hl
	call LD_HL_MHL
	call _vputs
	pop hl
	inc hl
	inc hl
	djnz drawtext
	ret

stringtable:
	.dw $0000
	.dw row1
	.dw $0700,row2

row1:	.db "this is row 1",0
row2:	.db "this is row 2",0

.end


The only thing about this is that it will not wrap around the text.  If
anybody knows how to do this, please help me to.
