I wanted to try backing the form in my printer, but the Gemini 10X doesn’t have the capability. If there is anyone out there with that capability, give it a try and let me know the results. I might just have to get that printer. A couple of hints for MSCRIPT IF you write a |

I found a fascinating article by David Barry from the St. Louis Osborne Group on the CP/M memory map and how various Iocations are used. It was even simple, enough that I grasped it the first time! Did you ever want to get a directory while in the middle of something like PIP or COPY? |

| Notes from the Editor |
There has been quite a bit on my mind as of late, and of course, it involves the Timex computers we all know and love. I have been reading, with ə great deal of skepticism, other newsletters that have been be-littling the CP/M mode that you can have with the Aerco Disk system, the Zebra |

| Partial CLS for the ZX81 |
Did you ever want to clear just the bottom portion of the screen during a BASIC program? Perhaps you have a title across the top line or two and would like for it to remain during the entire program. This little six byte machine code routine will allow just that. That’s right SIX BYTES! Actually |

| RP/M Utility - DU-V89 |
Naturally during the weekends, I put in some time on the modem downloading some software and utilities that I am not familiar with. Most of these, from the FUKUG MBBS & PSDE, have become quite handy for me to have. They have become so handy that I have changed my normal BOOT disk to contain |

| The Ultimate Orphan? |
How would you like a dirt-cheap computer system that has a real keyboard, high-res (256×192) or very-high-res (640×256) screen display, runs fast, has oodles of memory (typically 256K), hardware options up the gazpp, and firmly yet gracefully thumbs its nose at Big Blue?

To determine the address of ‘UPLOAD’, PEEK 16511 + 256 x PEEK 16512 + 4 using a direct command. Then add this number to 16514. The result will be the required address. In my example there are no extra bytes in 1 REM. Therefore the PEEK would give 86. 16514 + 86 = 16600. |
