I have written some Applesoft programs on my ][+ using the videx 80-col
card codes and am trying to get it running on my //e.

A code I use a lot is the cursor positioning code CHR$(30)HV, where
H & V are the HTAB,VTAB position + 32 ( space );

In the extended 80-col apple //e manual it specifies that the CHR$(30)
code is supported, but not under Applesoft!!!

Now I could go through and change all the PRINT XY$ to HTAB & VTAB, or
POKES, but this is a lot of work, (it already is an Applesoft program!)

Does anyone know how I can use the CHR$(30) under Applesoft on my //e?

Many Thanks for any comments, please answer to comp.sys.apple.
