A86: String Writing


i have a question.  suppose i have the following string:

text:
.db "Welcome to EB"

if i do the following:

    ld b,0
    ld hl,text
start:
    push hl
    ld d,0
    ld e,b
    add hl,de
    ld a,(hl)
    call _putc
    pop hl
    push bc
    ld b,10
hloop:
    halt
    djnz hloop
    pop bc
    inc b
    ld a,b
    cp 14
    jp z, done
    jp start
done:
    ret

will it output the string on the screen?  You can assume that i have already
set the curCol and curRow.  Also if it won't work, do i have the right idea
about it?  Basically, i want to be able to write the string out letter by
letter.

thanks
