POKEs, Etc for 2068

The January 1993 issue of UPDATe magazine has a page of pokes by Frank Davis. I believe the lists that I have will mostly include those in UPDATE.

Continued from last month:

CLEAR 63255
Do this first if you plan to use UDGs in a long BASIC program that will incorporate a video mode change. A bug in the system will allow a long BASIC program to overwrite your UDGs if RAMTOP is not first lowered.

POKE 23750,0
If you are using cartridge S/W that can be stopped by the BREAK key, this will allow you to enter your own BASIC lines into RAM. To return to the cartridge ROMWARE, POKE 23750,128.

POKE 23693,56
Use for starting PAPER/INK color.

26710, BASIC starts at this address.

CAPS SHIFT 3
Will scroll two screens when LISTing.

POKE 26711,0
Gives line number 0.

POKE 26711,1
Changes line number 0 to 1

POKE 23659,0
Use all 24 lines. Also makes program unstopable

POKE 23659,2
Resets. Use with “INKEY$” only. INPUT resets.

POKE 26710,255
Use to make lines disappear. (Makes line number over 9999).

POKE 26710,0
Will reset and bring the lines back.

INK OR PAPER 9
Gives contrasting base color.

“E” MODE/CAPS SHIFT and a COLOR 1-7 gives INK color in LISTing.

“E” MODE/UNSHIFTED and a color 1-7 gives PAPER color. Return to original color at end of line, or all the lines will be the same color.

DOUBLE INPUTS EXAMPLE

1 INPUT "COMMENT";A$;CHR$ 13;"COMMENT";B$
2 PRINT "COMMENT";A$; CHR$ 13;"COMMENTS";B$

STRIPED BORDER EFFECT

9000 FOR I=1 TO 200
9010 BORDER 1: BORDER 2: BORDER 3: BORDER 4: BORDER 5: BORDER 6: BORDER 0: PAUSE 1
9020 NEXT I: RETURN

GOSUB 9000 to get striped border effect.

POKE 23617,236
To get a question marl cursor in INPUT statements.

PRINT #0;"COMMENTS" PAUSE 0
Use to print on line 24.

POKE 23609,X
For keyboard click (X=1 to 255)

POKE 23692,2
Use before every print for automatic scrolling. Works like the SCROLL command on the 1000/15000.

POKE 23692,1
Another way to control scroll. Scrolls 22 lines, then a key must be pressed for every line.

POKE 23658,8
Puts 2068 into CAPs mode.

POKE 23658,0
Takes 2068 out of CAPs mode.

PAUSE 0
Pause until any key is pressed.

PRINT ,,,,
Gives a line feed to the PRINT statement.

RANDOMIZE USR 0
Use to reset computer.
