  • print at line 22 and 23I have a faint recollection of POKES to allow print at 22,x and 23,x, anyone know what they are? (rather than using the print #0 #1 stuff..)

    Little-known fact: POKE 23659,1 and you can print to line 22 and 23, but if an error occurs BASIC won't crash (it'll just trash the screen with thich black and white stripes).

    I usually find it safer and less hassle to print to channel 0 or 1.
