AST RESEARCH, INC. TECHNICAL BULLETIN #TB-0335 11/18/87

AST-COAX SERIES/API OPTION
|
||
|
||
|
||
This Technical Bulletin is provided in order to supplement the
|
||
documentation regarding the write direct to buffer (function
|
||
19) and the cursor positioning (function 18) functions.
|
||
|
||
Write direct to buffer documentation states that the cursor
|
||
position must be initialized by a "Set cursor position for
|
||
direct buffer write (function 18.)"
|
||
|
||
To work properly, the cursor position (function 18) must be
|
||
initialized at the beginning of the nanoprocessor display
|
||
buffer. Initializing cursor position at the end of the buffer
|
||
display causes the buffer to appear empty. The call made is:
|
||
|
||
ENTRY: AX 18
|
||
DX Cursor Position
|
||
|
||
The cursor positions 0 through 79 correspond to the status line
|
||
(operator information area). Position 80 corresponds to the
|
||
upper left corner of the display screen.
