Ok guys, this is the deal, I got a C128, running in 80 col mode, and 
I have poked a string of ascii bytes into seccessive ram locations 
startting at address 7377 (base 10).  I need a very fast way to get this
string of bytes into the basic A$.  I wanna do it in ML, and I want it to
be very quick!  Like 200 bytes/second transfer rate to the basic A$ 
variable.  

At address 7376 contains the lenght of the data-string, including the 13
which terminates the string.  When transfered to A$, the 13 need not be
part of the string.  Thus the LEN(a$) when done will be = to peek(7376)-1.

Anyone have any idea how I can accomplish this feet??
 
Thanks much, Send follow up, or e-mail.
