Re: Controlling the cursor better...
> Hard to say without seeing your code.
ld a,(CurCol) ; Get column
dec a ; Move one char left
push af ; Store it
ld (CurCol),a ; Change position
ld a,' '
call _PutC ; Space
pop af ; Restore position...
ld (CurCol),a ; ...on screen
This is supposed to simulate a BS->SPC->BS sequence, but when the cursor is
in the middle of a flash, it leaves behind frozen copies of itself. I've
tried to temporarely turn off the cursor, and doing a 'halt' to wait for the
next interrupt, but the cursor doesn't seem to respond that quickly to the
CurOn flag.
The reason I'm not satisfied with the indirect (PGMIO_EXEC) string input
call is that it absolutely requires input. No empty lines are accepted, and
another thing: It seems to destroy text attributes (inverse text).
BTW: The code above is not exactly the code I use. The complete code handles
out-of-screen cases also.
