In the next time, I´m shure, I will have a lot of questions about the work area in MSX (1).

The first question, I can´t find the area where the function keys text is saved...I´ve searched the whole ressources offered here.
In Basic there are commands to "re-text", from Assembler I can disable and enable the Display of the function keys, but no idea to give them new content.
Thanks for helping me....

I´ve read these section of the Advanced Programming Guide three or more times, but maybe too fast........found other interesting things instead Smile

what? like telling to BASIC that is 25 rows in the screen, (default 24), so when you PRINTs the last character that is the last row and last column It won't do a scroll down (note that must be KEY OFF).

ups, whats this?

I´ve spent a half an hour to understand that 40 lines means only 39! I´ve got it from the MSX Guide later, 8 Pixels on the left and the right are reserved....
And I will use only 22 rows, otherwise there´s something strange

V9938’s 80 column mode?

I don’t get what you mean by “40 lines means only 39”, btw.

Why to leave it to 25 rows... Smile

hmm, in MSX1? 80 characters?
I use INITTXT EQU 006ch
and if I Count the characters on the Display, it´s only 39.
On page 12 in the MSX technical databook is written: suggested value 39x24
8 Pixels are not used by the Software..........

No, it is because the numbering is from ZERO up to 39 (40 in total), not like others BASIC.

Or maybe you didn't set "WIDTH 40", default is WIDTH 37 in MSX1, but if MSX2 the default is the saved value in the CMOS.

No, by default MSX screen 0 displays 38 characters... You need to type WIDTH 40 in order to use all 40.

It depends... ie. in WIDTH 80 it displays more... How ever the function keys print all characters, no matter what they display.
