IT HAS PROBABLY BEEN DONE BEFORE BY BETTER PROGRAMMERS, BUT I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY SAMPLE YET TO DATE.THE MAIN PART OF THE PROGRAM CAME FROM INPUT & OUTPUT OF AN ASCII CHAR. STEP 4 ATARI ST MACHINE LANGUAGE * ABACUS SOFTWARE *. THEN FROM THE SAMPLE OFF THE FIRST ATARI PROGRAM * HELLO WORLD * IN WHICH I WAS ENQUIRING ABOUT $1B CODE (GRATEFULLY EXPLAINED BY JASON J RAILTON. THANK YOU.)... PLEASE NOTE THAT I ADDED TO THE SOURCE CODE: CENTER: MOVE .L #PUT,-(SP) MOVE #9,-(SP) TRAP #1 ADD.L #6,SP THIS WAS PLACED FIRST ON THE CODE. NEXT WAS TO CHANGE THE ALL CODE CONOUT MOVE.W #2,-(SP) TO PRINT A CHARACTER MOVE.W #5,-(SP). THEN TO CHANGE THE RETURN CODES FROM WARMSTART MOVE.W #0,-(SP) TRAP #1 TO RETURN MORE GRACEFULLY MOVE.W #20,-(SP) MOVE.W #$4C,-(SP) PTERM TRAP #1 NEXT WAS THE PLEASANT REQUEST*PLEASE TYPE HERE* AND IT'S POSITION ON THE SCREEN.
