The other day I was playing about with some of the Amstrad's Out commands and discovered some interesting reults. Reset the computer before typing in each of the following: - OUT &BC00,4: OUT &BD00, 255
- OUT &BC00,4: OUT &BD00,1
- OUT &BC00,5: OUT &BD00,120
- OUT &BC00 9: OUT &BD00,1
- OUT &BC00,9: OUT &BD00,0
Enter this listing and watch that screen fly: 10 MODE 1:PAPER 3:CLS:BORDER 16 20 PEN 1:LOCATE 4,13 30 PRINT"SCROLLING THE SCREEN ";:PEN 0 40 PRINT" (literally).
