Please could VDU4 and VDU5 support be added:
- VDU 4: Print at text cursor
- VDU 5: Print at graphics cursor
This would give the ability to switch the printing of text between the two cursors and allow for text positioning that is more precise than the default text positions (as set by the BASIC "TAB" instruction). For example:
10 MODE 1
20 VDU 4
30 PRINT TAB(4,4)"PRINTING AT TEXT CURSOR"
40 VDU 5
50 MOVE 640,512
60 PRINT "PRINTING AT GRAPHICS CURSOR"
70 VDU 4
80 PRINT "BACK AT TEXT CURSOR"
In the above example, the text at line 30 should be near the top of the screen, the text at line 60 roughly in the middle and the text at line 80 following on from the text at line 30.
