# FANCY CLEAR SCREEN

This utility contains 6 clear screen routines that will give your programs that special something they’re missing…

To select a CLS:

#1 POKE 23728,0 & POKE 23729,0

#2 POKE 23728,0 & POKE 23729,1

#3 POKE 23728,1 & POKE 23729,0

#4 POKE 23728,1 & POKE 23729,1

#5 POKE 23728,2 & POKE 23729,0

#6 POKE 23728,2 & POKE 23729,1

To CLEAR SCREEN use: LET L=USR 64260

To save the MC routine use: SAVE “filename”CODE 64260,1108

This routine is not relocatable and will not affect the UDG’s.
