Here is the proper way to display ASCIIZ in ASH v3.0:

ld hl,string
ROM_CALL(D_ZT_STR)

However, this method will not work under OS-82.  I am working on finding a
(PROGRAM_ADDR) variable that will enable you to do the following, yet
compile and run for both shells:

ld hl,string
ld de,(PROGRAM_ADDR)
add hl,de
ROM_CALL(D_ZT_STR)

Hope I could be of help.
