In BASIC... my goal is to create a status line at bottom of my screen to update occasionally and I will need to store the current cursor location temporarily while i update the line. Then return to stored cursor location and continue.
I need to locate the current cursor position: HOW???
I am currently using this for positioning: POKE $30D, ROW: POKE $30E, COL: SYS $FFF0
I don't know if that is the best, but without a LOCATE command... its all I know at the moment.
